'Good detective work Lending and as you say, very strange. Could KKR be using MW to keep the SP suppressed for some ulterior motive ?'
Why is it good detective work? Why do you agree with (the poster) Lending that it is very strange? Were you not aware that KKR own 34.9% of Marshall Wace?

Why is this happening Today?

Lending. I don't believe this is the first time you have thought about this. your post - quote
'So KKR ( having had a holding in DT since 2016, resulting in 13% of shares at IPO and now 10%) currently owns 35% of Marshall Wace who is currently shorting DT.

Very strange indeed!'
Read through that again.
Why is it very strange? Did you not know KKR owned 34.9% of Marshall Wace?

Their Frontpage 'About Us' explains their 'KKR Partnership'. KKR own 34.9% (Nov. 2019). There is no mention of Marshall Wace that I can find in the KKR Portfolio displayed on their site.

You are unlikely to find an answer to that question on this forum. Try the Ministry of Defence website or alternatively, there may be forums elsewhere specifically for that discussion.

I live nowhere near Cambridge, UK. There is a University there. Cambridge Analytica were involved in what was at that time being reported as the biggest data breach of all time. Marshall Wace are sponsors of an event called Hackathon Cambridge.

The average closing price since IPO indicates a strong upward trend.

Marshall Wace -> Technology. I read the overview scrolled down through their Graduate Recruitment Program to 'Our Community'. IC Hack and Hack Cambridge are mentioned. Marshall Wace are sponsors of Hackathon Cambridge.
In my opinion, it would be reasonable to assume that most users on finding 'Our Community' are likely to have noticed the Graduate Recruitment Program.
There are limitless potential counter-arguments to that assumption. One being that the starting point is the bottom of the page where the terms and conditions are, next to the copyright (2023).

I do not post links due to security reasons. It is unlikely that Marshall Wace would allow me to post a link to any of their webpages in any case.

EasiWynns, have you read the rules here about posting links, copyright permissions and security and all the other rules? You could try not posting any for security reasons, only a suggestion. Then you never have to worry about it. I don't follow links for security reasons so pointless posting any if you ever reply directly to me. I will go further on that specific point. Will you please not post any links if you reply to any of my posts.

I checked 3 more Marshall Wace short 'campaigns' today. I haven't found one yet where they look to be doing well. Mostly underwater. I am offering no advice on where to check, which sources I use or any theories on how MW go about their business. In my opinion, they are not very good at short selling. It could of course be the case that they mis-judged some factors or maybe they are waiting for a Black Swan? That was never a good strategy. I will have a look over some more of their activity tomorrow.

Spend a few months researching all the history of legal cases brought by HP\HPE, and against them. Instruments of mass litigation that sell electronics.

Easiwynns, there hasn't been a Mike Lynch fraud case. He hasn't been extradited yet. You are writing illiterate drivel about sensational headlines now.

Easiwynns, and you continue - quote -

'Some possible outcomes I see are CEO et al still at DT after the extradition happens and when the US court case commences, which may damage DT, or they have earned sufficient (too much?) and can afford to just walk whenever they choose, dropping DT in the proverbial at any moment.' end quote

More illiterate drivel.
