It's definitely possible, but it'd have to have been planned & executed pretty well across many accounts with no apparent connection & tarded at vastly different times. If there were huge short trades placed that profited hardcore around the event, it'd have sent up huge red flags.I still wonder if there was some kind of fuckery involved and someone shorted the stock or something.
Not that the SEC may or may not have done anything, but watchdog groups, dark pool market watchers, etc. would been screaming about it.
