Could be Chinese mafia, could be institutions and other organizations in the west using Chinese tickers...... but regardless you're right, these are not meme stocks and AMC did have multiple great opportunities of you didn't stay "LONG" like a fool and played the ups and downs. I got out of amc at 55 myself... then it went from low 20s to 50 again towards the end of 2021, i missed that one lol... but there are opportunities regardless, we shall see... i have my sights on AGBA... and AMTD... AGBA ran to $8s on such little volume and retested as high as 5.37 at open. So i have a feeling on their merits alone, they must be able to get their ticker to 5-10 $2 is a joke even for AMTD
