when the stock ran from .04 to .40 they had been doing the same sort of bid-tapping with tiny orders. so no biggie -- they can only try to influence the most short term action here, and even then, i doubt they'll be able to accumulate this much longer. if nothing else, the MMs own greed will start to kick in, and they'll want to make some huge $$ on all the shares they've collected. jmho! ;-)
