IF Stu saw what was happening he could have called a Trading Pause" and at least come out with a MUCH less cryptic announcement than was made yesterday.
IF this wasn't a shorters "plot", it "could" be related to those that DO want to do business with Lake's lithium.
Probably Steve parted company with Lake and was extremely angry. If that was the case, he's done a stack of work getting them this far and has literally been told that he wasn't good enough to take it to the higher levels. He is "known" and looks like the big boys didn't like his form and have made his departure a condition for further support. Also, the big boys that are going to support Lake wanted them to have their main operation in the US. When we are talking hundreds of millions of dollars and a multi billion project, there is NO room for a minnow like Lake to argue, it's yes sir, how high, from now on and Steve apparently didn't like those terms. The big boys don't mess around with sentiment and feelings. Just a thought, if it was more simple, why haven't we heard anything from the Executive Chairman???
