I must admit, I have thought of similar conspiracy plots that make sense. I figure ABAT has the best shot at making a profit in the business as anyone else. If ABAT can not make a profit nested in China with zero debt, and the lowest costs for making state of the art Li-polymer & Li-cobalt Ion batteries, then what chance do the others have. In which case it would be time to short the entire battery sector. And ABAT has already managed to vertically integrate into the E-vehicle markets.
