I do not agree that Occum's razor is much help here.

AFAIK this is completely unprecedented. A crowd of whomever and bankers with clients money at stake, disagreeing so absolutely about fundamental values. A mass action making the third corner of a very strange triangle.

The explanation you offer (it's sensible, except it is not one hedge fund) is no more or less complex than a conspiracy. What ever is going on there are a lot of moving parts.

I am not making predictions!
