As far as what is company’s fault, Rich may or may not have been part of the pump. What would he gain if he were? The ability to sell fewer shares for the same money or more money for the same shares. He did issue shares during the pump from Jan to Feb 2017 during and after the pump.
As far as company not issuing shares for past 2 years, your DD is just wrong or just a guess. The OS was 125M in Jan 2016. In Jan 2018, it was 1.57B of OS and debtor shares combined and it was fully diluted to account for Pref A shares of 3.2B. Pref As were issued in late 2016/early 2017 before the pump. I would say an increase of 15 to 30 fold in just two years, that is solidly on record, nullifies your statement.
