Well, with talk of sp manipulation (guess mostly by me) and that the MM makes things happen, what are the details? Not necessarily concerning KRy, but any stock general with an MM in general. Can anybody share?

I imagine it is all back-room stuff. It is illegal, right? But, how does it happen? Does an outfit just make a call, like, "Get me 2M shares at $xx." and it happens? What is the usual compensation to the MM to get a "deal" or better (manipulated) price?

Would you or I be able to contact the MM and get in at what we might consider an attractive price?

Am I blowing smoke here, or does it happen? Is manipulation something akin to paid bashers or paid pumpers?

Lots of heresay, rumor, theory, etc. and we know it happens, but no hard evidence?

Inquiring minds need to know.
