It's so obvious to anyone watching level 2 what the 13D-bags are doing today, and for the last month at least. If these were organic sellers/shorters and they had even the slightest bit of common sense, they could clearly see that the share price wants to bounce. So they could easily sell/short in the high 1.60s or higher if they just took their boot off the Ask for 30 minutes. Instead we get blatant manipulation with big blocks placed on the Ask to discourage people from taking a long position.
If the 13d-bags were smart, they'd realize that their blatant manipulation is having the exact opposite effect than what they intended. Instead of shareholders getting pissed at NP for the share price not rising, they're getting more and more upset with the 13D-bag group for their blantant attempts to stuff any upward momentum.
