No, they're anything but "ignorant". What they are is caught in a situation they never expected. Let's set the dial of the Wayback Machine about 8 months, and what do we have ? A left-for-dead NBRI with Perry really dead. The MM's thought NBRI would forever be that way, a moribund relic at No-bid Trips-1 and they'd never have to cover the billions of Shares they'd naked shorted. They were high-five'ing and fist-bump'ing over their little larcenous windfall, as they waited for NBRI to go Grey Market, then Expert Market, then OBLIVION.
Then came Jared. And here's NBRI about to pour real gold already from just a batch of test ore. NBRI has not one, not two, but three - already! - properties, any one of which would suffice but add them all up..... do you see the problem the MM's have now? And why the Klaxon got sounded when NBRI hit dub-15 a few days ago? Make no mistake, they're in a World Of Hurt and the pain is only going to get worse for them. Unless they can do something, and fast!
