Auric, here's one for the books. Cel-Sci (HIV)

1. HIV, a crappy $2 biotech with no marketable drugs, runs up ten days ago on claims of a buy-out from a Caribbean consortium represented by an Buenas Aires lawyer. Company issues the press releases.

2. Then company admits they can't verify the legitimacy of the offer. Stock tanks back to $2.

3. Today, an unknown firm in England calling itself Gateway Capital Partners issues a press release CBS Marketwatch picks up, claiming HIV stock is worth more than $100 a share. Stock runs up again (47% as of right now).

4. Someone on Yahoo calls the company and the man answering the phone says, "What company are you calling?" When he talks to someone who claims to be connected with Gateway the man says 'Well, we just moved in.' Then he refuses to answer any more questions!

What in heck is going on? Pump-and-dump or a concerted effort by someone else to kill the company? (Meanwhile, there are some very interesting 144's that were filed recently).
