I've been watching too. The market makers are supporting this stock because they KNEW those insiders had 3 million shares to dump. I have been watching for the last 15 minutes, and nearly every trade has been at the bid. And a couple of 25,000 share blocks went through at the bid too.. But the price still goes up! It has decoupled from Yahoo as well. I have never seen more blatant manipulation in my life. I used to be pretty sure this stock was a scam, but now I am absolutely certain of it. Talk about rigged bids.

eb, I was just looking at Wall Street City screen, so I'm not sure how good my numbers are. But they were showing numerous shares (many 1k blocks, too) going off at the bid and not much at the ask or between. Usually this thing starts moving after it gets hit by 5,000 shares in one way. I did see some of those 25k blocks go off. Who knows what they were and I don't trust conclusions as to buy or sell unless the stock immediately rocks, since I think the MMs are delaying the reporting by a 1/2 minute or more to cloud the trade.
