Yep, that's what I meant. This happening as they raised the offering price is no coincidence; They are calling the bluff that iQSTEL won't need to raise any more cash soon as they stated.
I'm worried what we're seeing may actually be some of these same debt companies (Apollo, M2B) that they've had to reach out to in the past. They did well last time, know the company well, and surely could get their business again if they indeed are unable to become profitable quickly enough. They easily have the capital to manipulate this ticker in any way they please; they also have tons of shares so they can trade/collar/hedge/short in any strategy imaginable.
They'll win no matter the outcome of this situation, and that's why I'm beginning to think this is what's going on.
The company has to tread very cautiously here, and I'd feel more comfortable if they sat on the cash a while longer and dialed down the M&A campaign until more favorable market conditions exist.
