Permit me to concur in part and to dissent in part.
The market makers are not to blame.
The ceo is to blame.
But the "investor" bears some responsibility, also. Before throwing his money on the blanket, did the "investor" perform any deep due diligence? Since the "investor" takes ALL of the risks, that "investor" should have a clear picture of the endeavor. Absent a comprehension of the investment in smky, the "investor" may just be reaping the bad effects of using bad judgment in making a bad decision. All IMHO.
