Well Calvery, the numbers you cite look good but taking your 500K block into account ,using just this week's volume numbers alone the highest volume was 1.9M+ shares, it would mean over 25% of the available volume of that day alone . I would find it awfully hard to believe that an MM is going to find any block of 500K shares of this stock at any one price considering that it's over a quarter of the volume. An accumulation would take a bit more effort and the chances of them buying them at the low even if they could is a long shot. The math alone would kill any incentive. With that in mind, I can't imagine an MM betting the house on "dirt" being enough to drive the price down. If an MM relied on that and he or she worked with someone else's money I don't think they would be holding their job for long. Likewise if it were their money I would suggest a craps table over that sort of practice.
