They increased their available supply by 1.5 billion BitShares, using the same trick Ripple did the other day. Gliss is really proving himself to be corrupt if he's manipulating the available supply to trigger pump and dumps.
No, coin supply was increased by 0.5 billion from 2B to 2.5B, and this was due to merging PTS, AGS, KeyID and VOTE into Bitshares, so the holders of the above were given BTS in exchange for merging them into the Bitshares system. This is not Ripple where coin supply can just be made bigger by the company and only 25% supply is released to the public.
