Lin and Bob would have the most to gain with this. Lin owns the most Bay and Bob apparently has a large group of very unhappy schemes on his tail. Those that would want to continue Bitbay in whichever form they think has a chance would be served with a modest buy-wall. This is not a buy wall however, this is a very tiny trading volume pushing the price hoping to bait any unaware trader into buying.  

You can break it immediately by setting a buy wall underneath them of course, but then again they have enough capital to eat it and continue the game again.
