Just thinking a bit over the weekend, perhaps :
Labro have set up their secret sister company, let's call it Orbal, and they lend them, say, 500,000 shares.
Orbal Sell these shares, they are then Short on and gradually bring the price down. They may well then trigger more Sellers, Orbal start to Buy the ones they are Short and Labro pick up some too. Rinse and Repeat.
This stops Labro having to change their Holding until they build it up further. They are so dominant in our market that they basically control it. Nothing illegal, just lending out the shares to Shorters. Would perhaps explain large trades going through that never get notified as Labro themselves appear to have to notify not just on a percentage change but on every share purchased(or sold).
It's just a Theory.
