That's the way it is with small company stocks that are still trying to establish themselves. Once you accept that as a fact, not that you have to like it, you'll realize that is how the market works. The MM's who are the middlemen in buying and selling are looking to make the maximum profit for themselves and are the 'manipulators', not the company. The company can be complicit, of course, in the way they handle their public relations and other matters. And there will always be day traders and short sellers who are looking to make a buck, especially with startups and the volatility of their stock.
With regard to VEND specifically, I believe they needed to come to some assessment of their current situation, which is why they haven't had a PR until today, and this is just another small step along the way, although a very positive one in my mind.
BTW, with respect to an earlier post of yours where you accused the company of selling stock into the market directly to raise cash, that isn't how the market works. The company can issue stock to accredited investors through a public offering in order to raise funds, but they don't sell directly into the market.
