off-topic: This fraud has been in the news for a while now. It started several years ago, after some university profs. did a study that showed the MM's were working together to keep retail customers from getting best prices. I've gotten a handful of class-action booklets that seem to list just about every NASDAQ stock, and various timeframes, and saying that I'm part of the suit, unless I say otherwise. I didn't keep the booklets, or read the details. I figure my compensation will be good for a cup of coffee at Starbuck's when it comes through. The industry's claim is that this is "just the way things were done" (and I think that's true), and "it has been fixed now" (ie, it isn't as obvious. :)). Actually, with the new NASDAQ system that combines customer quotes and MM quotes into one system, that might become true, but I'm not sure if that's employed on every stock (and probably not at all on BB stocks).
