Ok, I admit this is just pure brainstorming tossing something out there speculation.....
What if Wessal has some power players behind them. And in order for them to complete their buyout of the company shares they told Petar to hold off on the financials being released. They may have figured the stock would only go down a few cents and their buying would suck up the losses and the stock would recover fairly rapidly. What they didn't forsee was our little swarmy reporter doing a hit piece on Petar that exacerbated the impact of the delay, when thousands of retail holders panicked and dumped shares at the same time. Then MM's saw their opening to close out a grunch of naked short positions and hide their illegal activities?
