I think you have a good grasp of most of what is happening but it is I am afraid infinately scarier than that.
This has weekly options. At one point today there were over 173000 ITM call options for tomorrow's expiration that is 17 million shares that must be delivered after settling on today's close, as you know these must be settled in shares not money. Some calls very deep in the money and a big order for 13422 at the $570 strike cost $5 or $500 contact total price $6,711,000 just today at $570 strike. That's not the WSBets traders.

I think this might be the unraveling of a huge counterfeit market wide stock scheme and these hedge funds may have sold several times the entire outstanding shares over a 100 million counterfeits in just this one stock and the same thing in many others as well.

Did you see the interview of the CEO of Interactive brokers today?
On WSBets they are holding the stocks they are not selling. "We like the stock"
There are millions of small investors that just holding a small amount of the real stock each and will not sell.
Of all the fuss already it has not even begun yet. I like the stock.
I think the same issue might exist in NWBO. If Linda knows about a possible fraud like this it might be good to wait before releasing TLD.
