I believe the only “shady” thing Aspire can do is sell as many shares as they already have and take the price down to probably .38ish to gain the best and lowest 5 day average prior to news so they are then granted more shares on news day and milestone day. The only risk they face by this is that the public market does not take the stock over .50 on news day because then they would not get those milestone shares in return for cash. Jmo.
