considering the volume/duration in March and taking into account VERT's Jan/Feb actions we are easily talking about 2 times 200M shares injected (at least in the beginning of the year and currently: still counting).
these are not minor events.
MMTE is manipulated (agree) to the downside but since last year's high and there's still that PR thread.
I remember Brian accused somebody for short selling (from Canada) but I also assume that Brian didn't know many things going with the company.
