I can only see one explanation and that is unlimited naked short selling. They have been going on as long as possible to make ordinary shareholders sell their shares. The amount of shares sold nakedly is an unknown to anyone except to the perpetrators themselves (TBTF).

We will soon know how many shares have been handed over to the suppressors and how large a naked short position has remained and will have to be bought back. Time has run out on the suppression of gold and silver, so time has run out on the naked short selling game. This has been a virtual computer game at no cost to the perpetrators, because they could short at no cost, or worse, they sucked up liquidity to be invested elsewhere.

Those that can buy here at the bottom will be winners. Those that had to sell in the process are the losers. As always, the anti-democratic (fascist) forces (the 1% of billionairs) have won. The 99% has lost. All they had to do is bribe the regulators and Congress.
