< do you have an opinion as to whether or not a strategic plan might have been in place where by Institutional Holders (Roswell) or warrant holders had advanced notice that an attempt would be made to elevate the S/P for selling purposes?>
No.
How would such planning work? If your sitting on millions of shares, you aren't going to buy anymore. Are you are saying that news was manufactured by the company?
IMO, all PTSC could do would be withhold news. If not buying, don't see any benefit of doing that.
