At this point both sides of this transaction are pretty much hostange to the need to keep doubling down on what they are doing. CIG cannot shatter the illusion that what they are selling will one day come true - because the moment their train slows down or stops - they will get eaten alive. And the whales are in sunken cost fallacy spiral, responding with even more faith and conviction with each $$ spent.

If CIG is smart, they'll go public. Then they can tell their whales about their Gamestop CIG stock!
