That is almost inconceivably shocking.
Imagine if they'd done that the day before the SP takes off after a successful demo and impending sales were announced.

I must say that a similar thing happened to me early in my time as an investor. But in that case it was because I had - wisely I thought - set a stop loss SELL trigger on a major holding. That was the first time I saw what happens when predatory traders create a selling rush by selling a few shares low to drop the price enough to make other holders set stop loss triggers, then they sell a big set of several parcels of shares at a silly price that is typically just below the intuitive number people will set their triggers for. I got hit. It took out 80% of my holding before I realised what was going on. I lost around 15% of their value to get them back. That was not on AKP, but I have seen the same ruse being tried here and elsewhere several times since. I am always very wary now. I hope you get them back soon!
