They are perfectly happy selling other even more risky assets and at great profits. With the current attention from huge institutional investors it’s not a conspiracy to assume they got pressured either internally or externally to stop the pressure. It’s Occams razor.

Those other 'risky' assets aren't having 50% drawdowns.

It's like not allowing me to buy SPY in March because it was so volatile. F-ck that.
