I had pondered that myself Mustard, but assumed I'm just not informed enough to understand the details.
Here's the timeline of events though:
- Complaints about the board's behaviour is brought to the attention of the FCA
- The price spikes suspiciously quickly in the morning (before the RNS is released)
- The RNS is released, vaguely referring to the possibility of some funding (+ yet another extension, yay)
- Selling begins and the morning's gains drop back
- Trading is suspended by AQUIS
- This appears to come as a surprise to VLRM as they clearly didn't have an RNS prepared and it took well over an hour for them to get one out
Here's what it must feel like being a LTH:

Vol. Bought 710,606
Bought Value £21.40k
Almost 1% of the company traded for the price of a mid-range hatchback. I would have held off a bit longer chimers, you could get your average down even further (though what good that will do you is beyond me).
