prisoner- The answer to your question as to where the MM's are getting shares to sell you is quite obvious.
Lumb has a printer, he has access to 2 trillion shares. He can make a 500 million cert real cheap to send in as a cover for shares he orders sold.
You did know that Companies/Company assigns can order shares sold and send the certs to CEDE to cover the sales after they have already sold didnt you ??
Done all the time
By printer I mean his TA. order 10 billion in certs cent to cede , call brokers place order to sell 10 billion and walla you got shares.
