No one will ever know what happened with those sha

If by private you mean regular investors then I think that's what happened but we won't know for sure until we see the filings that cover that time period.
Some said it was a buyback but from what I remember there were over 500 transactions the day the 800mil traded. If it were going to be a buyback I would think it would be less than that.
Just guessing really.
