After the losses they must have taken with the price decline this is probably a desperate attempt to boost the price.

Well, if I remember correctly, all the Winkelvii Bitcoins were bought for under $70, I'd say the average price is around $35-40, so no, they're still trading at 300-400% above what they bought them for. Not bad for a 2 year investment.

Unsaleable in volume while maintaining that price though. Thats why they are concocting these schemes to actually get an exit eventually.

I think if they were in it for a quick buck, they'd have exited during the run up to $1200. But they didn't.

Actually when they were buying Bitcoins it ran up to $250 over the course of a few weeks, then crashed down to $75. That's my recollection of events.

I read far too many investing sites. Whenever a run-up and crash occurs in some fad stock, the proponents of said stock never seem to lose money. They always seem to be "still in the green". Amazing, really.
