I think these are very likely scenarios.
People who start selling for peanuts will probably live to curse this day, screaming manipulation or some bs when stock goes up again.
You maybe correct, and for the sake of the stake holders I really hope you are... I have no skin in the game, so my comments may not be as valuable as someone who does, but, usually, and I say this as someone in the securities industry... usually there is no coming back from a situation like this.
