Short number of shares marked by me in yellow.
Total PVG shares shorted now = 4,170,000 + 2,503,360 =
6,673,360 shares (still) short In times before that "Aquisition" was announced the total figures for PVG shares shorted was somewhere above 10 millions.

I think in the meantime, that this heavy and senseless shorting of PVG - in in times before the "Acquisition" offer - was a market manipulation to bring down the price of PVG.
Imagine Newcrest could fix the offer price only 1 USD below a market price, which PVG would had without these manipulation short sellings. They refer in their offer price news to the market price of PVG...
Then Newcrest had "saved" aound 200 million USD for all outstanding PVG shares & options etc.
Thus according to this theory : Newcrest had saved 200 million USD with market manipulations by short selling and had to cover a "loss" of around 20 million USD to cover these short positions.
Makes a net "winning" of 180 million USD... dirty money and may be it will bring some people involved in front of justice...
