Here's another theory for how to prevent free-fall of the stock price. Hypothetically let's
say clever JB has made previous agreements that have netted, say $2b in cash. Now, if
only 10% is in weak hands, that's enough to keep the share price at this level forever. By
doing that he can have kind of a private unnanounced buyback scheme, w. a 5X leverage
on the value of the rest of his holdings.


I like this. That would be the grand finale;-)
