we have more seasoned traders here at hangout so im pretty sure everyone know how the bashers play the game.  basically they buy large blocks at a higher price and sell into the bid with small amounts driving the price down.  IMO they are also shorting these stocks meaning that these traders will place a trade on borrowed shares betting that the price is going to go down.  once the price has dropped a significant amount they pay for those borrowed shares and get the difference in profit  i.e.  buy at .01 for 1,000,000 shares and cover at 0025 netting a large profit
