AMZN actually has close to $1.5 billion in the bank. They had over $300.0 MM in cash at year end and raised $1.25 billion through a convertible debt offering in March. BNBN is raising only $300.0 MM in the IPO, actually $345.0 MM when the over-allotment option is exercised. Check out the press release:

Another question? I don't play options so I don't know, but could this manipulation be a way to keep May calls from being in the money?
Is there an expert in options you can answer this and explain the logic? Perhaps they aim to let the price rise right after options expiration? I've heard of these games but don't understand them yet.
