Today’s Big Crime: MicroVision (MVIS)

Uncategorized

MicroVision, Inc. (MVIS)

0.8377-0.2923 (-25.87%) At close: 4:00PM EDT

0.635 -0.2027 (-24.20%) After hours: 6:04PM EDT

The stock is now 80 cents and looks like tomorrow it wil be 60 cents $1.25-60cents= about 65 cents profit now X 100M shares do the math= in 4 days they could walk way with 65 MILLION for selling fake shares
