Interim financier 13G filing.
As you are aware, a large shareholder has to file a 13D, or if its a bank, an abbreviated 13G, within 10 days of exceeding 5% ownership of a stock (Regulation 13d from the Securities Act of 1934). Here is a link to the regulation:

Since there wasn't been a 13G filing in the 10 days following the September 22 financing (SEC filing on September 24), then that financing did not push the interim financier over the 5% mark. If there has been only one interim financier, clearly they must have sold some stock since June and before September 22, to keep them under the 5% mark.
I flew out to Las Vegas on October 14th (the day MGV made multiple posts attacking me for my absence and accused me of sitting around on my thumbs) to meet with Valence management. The trip had been set up by another shareholder and poster on this thread, although he hasn't posted recently. At the meeting, I asked Jay King (the CFO) what investment philosophy the interim financier used. He indicated that the interim financier had admitted to him that they had sold some stock from time to time, but King seemed surprised when I suggested the interim financier was behind the recent wave of selling through JPMS. He didn't think that was likely, and I got the impression he was going to check it out.
Then last week, a person I know, called management, and they said the interim financier has sworn that they are NOT selling stock at this time. Furthermore, the interim financier said that it wouldn't be through JPMS as a market maker, when they do sell.
Yes, I consider these to be reasonably knowledgeable sources, ones that are open to any shareholder who wants to take the time and effort to call and talk to the company, or to fly out and visit them, as quite a few shareholders who post on this thread have. Its a nice thing about microcaps, they often use an open door policy like this for shareholders. As long as they aren't overwhelmed, and we don't tie their time up too badly, we can get access.
You can always choose to disregard this information.
What did Jay King tell you last time you talked to him, and asked him about Zeev 's leaky floorless theory?
Please answer this; I would like to know how often you have talked to company management, before you came on the threads and espoused some of these theories. Have you ever talked to Jay King?
Back to the key question:
If the recent selling of over 600k shares through JPMS wasn't the interim financier, then who was it?
I can only think of one party in whose interest it would be to sell so heavily in such a short period of time, and that is Castle Creek and cohorts. It is also too incredibly coincidental that the heavy selling that we saw for weeks through INCA/REDI/SKLC ended on Friday October 8th, replaced the following Monday by heavy selling through JPMS, which then continued for another two weeks. It seems likely that the recent selling wave was connected to the prior selling wave.
And the selling from JPMS was huge... from the tape on Monday and Thursday last week, I estimate 80% of the selling volume on those days came through JPMS.
What is going to happen when JPMS stops selling, or even eases off, like they did on Friday?
... Friday's tape action is an indication of what is coming.
Finally, Larry, I suggest you re-read my post... you are mis-quoting me again. I didn't say that the interim financier had NEVER sold... I think mooter mis-spoke on that issue. I am careful with my wording, especially when I know a lot more than I am posting... which is most of the time.
