Nockname,

I think West is just being cautious, he said (assuming it still owns the shares).

You are most likely to be correct that Melrose shares appeared to be sold down by 10s of millions.
It is appalling that even now, we are not 100% sure how much Primebrokers was holding prior to this latest saga.

West is making the point that the falling shareprice had create this overhang.

If Stark do not finish this dog off, the margin calls from the falling share price may be the last straw.

Cheers
