PT, I have to respectfully disagree on your conspiracy theory.
Although it's a regrettable incident, and one that I certainly condemn, one incident does not a conspiracy make.
While it's possible that there have been others that have gone undetected, it's also possible that there have not been.
I doubt that there is a conspiracy, as there doesn't seem to be anybody who would benefit. You can't short either one of the stocks. The ex-SIMmers derive no benefit from destroying the company - indeed, they still hold a stake and also hope to collect damages in their lawsuit. If they destroy the company, they won't be collecting any damages from a bankrupt company.
My guess is that somebody in Sydney, Australia, doesn't like Pat Hayton - has a personal grudge. (You're welcome ascribe to this person the attributes that you incorrected associate with me in this regard...)
Given that Hayton's from there (Australia, dunno if he's from Sydney), that's not too shocking.
Conspiracy? Naw. One or more individuals pissed at Pat? Likely. Two wrongs don't make a right, but, still, it seems that Pat is reaping what he has sown... |
