It probably goes something like this: Traders buying in between .94 an 1.20 and selling in the 1.70's. MM's walk the price down in 100 share lots so they can buy in again, then take their foot off the brakes for a run at 2 bucks where they'll sell again. If news doesn't pop it over 2 substantially, they'll fight like hell to keep it under 2 for the reasons we've discussed at length. They're running out of time to keep up with this manipulation scheme however. They're gonna get a bomb dropped in the form of a PM or a subpoena which should take their greed out of play. The big guys will probably get away with it for a while, the little turds will get their asses handed to them right away.
