Looks like some smart investor's dream came true.

The Dream: Smart investor buys up much of the shares of a low float, thinly traded stock and put them up for sale at high limit prices hoping that, at some point, the market will finally wake up and recognize the true underlying value and pay the smart investor's asking prices for the stock.

The Reality: The market consists of an unwitting poor soul whose account has been hacked into to allow the smart investor free reign to use it to make a market for the stock (i.e., to put in a market order to buy the stock).
