This is so transparent it is laughable.
The timing is pretty over the top...they really think we are that stupid...I suppose that fact in and of itself is a tradable data point.
It's gonna be pretty laughable when the opposite of what they expect happens, and their shorts get squeezed to hell from incoming buyers trying to BTFD.
Also, do they really think people don't know legal due process? A subpoena is nothing, no action happens immediately. You can lawyer up and kick the can on shit like that for months or even years.
