sstyles, What we can say for sure is' that if the immediate purpose were to secure that AMRN did not react positive leading up to Earnings report - the mission has succeeded.
Pure speculation - could generic defenders Hikma and Reddy have a interest in a weakened Amarin - removing focus from all the positive stories of Europe China etc. ? ----------------------------
But your right - that you would think that 'timing is not a coincidence here' - KM and board might be in the middle of BO negations - something like this - do not strengthen Amarins position - even it is purely publich harassment.
