I did a little reading on that today. It sounds like BYND issued a piss pile of shares to help bail the shorts out. It's not quite that simple, but it seems like their timing was at best horrible, and worse, their action took their own shareholders out and the knees to save the coyotes that were trying to take the company out at the knees.
A guy I know wanted to get in on that yesterday and I told him to stay far and away from those bro stocks. What a turd that whole deal was.
