Excellent questions. I suspect those high trades will stand. The Halt was lifted, and trading resumed. But it'll be quite interesting. A reminder that market orders can be suicide.

It appears a few A shareholders watching the tape may have arbitraged the A share/B share discrepancy too. As the B shares exploded on the upside concurrent withe A shares coming back to earth.

Or Perhaps did the As get manipulated?? Some one stepped in on light A volume immediately after the halt lift and subsequently drove a big increase in B shares, he/she was able to unload??

In any case I think this raises serious questions about the day-to-day legitimacy of these markets. The democratization of hedge fund manipulation with the emergence of meme stock manipulators only serves to add to concerns. Perhaps a non-issue for us long term holders. But I think today's action may be a little telling of...something.
