I think the theory is they need it to go to $0.00

I think the theory is they need it to go to $0.00 so that the many millions of naked short shares never need to be covered. Zooming it to $5.00 puts them in a very bad position if it's a large amount of naked shorting that has put us here.

This is why i would love to see a $5/share buyout. Immediate and final green on every share ever purchased by all shareholders. Immediate and non-negotiable pain for any shorts, legal or otherwise. Any other way gives them room to weasel out of it.
