Why would they buy them? That would've been like Pirate investing his personal funds in his ponzi... I think you misinterpreted what I meant. I was insinuating that they had to continue spending money to keep people buying the shares. Once outflows passed inflows, it was game over.
yeah, I did misunderstand. I thought you meant that they were buying their own shares to create buzz or something.
I have a hard time believing they spent 10K+ btc in a month. The IPO ended the day before the branch opened.
