First we need the company to address these issues of the share count and what the company is doing?. They cannot keep ignoring shareholders.
When this is discovered then the focus need to be on this brokers and mm's. To believe these brokers are working for you, think again. They want all the money and they just hate having to settle up at the end of the day.
For all that we know this company could be short with all the manipulation that goes on. Only buyins would know.
