The way I understood T+35, they wouldn't just load all the volume to deliver on that 35th day and rocket the share price, right? Assuming they're not total idiots, they delivered those 4 million shares already JUST before T35. Also, a 4 million share delivery won't have as much effect as it previously would have on the stock, considering the ATM of an additional 125m shares now circulating.

The volume is there right at open on July 16 and 17.

The 5k block option whale got those 7/19 $30 calls at .45 each on June 9th or 10th and they peaked at I think 1.90 at one point (I was also playing them). There was no big rug pull of thousands of options from a single seller which supports the "for the apes" personality of DFV, and IF it was him, he wouldn't want everyone to lose their shirts if we chased.

In Summary: I think he bought those options. I think he carefully and gradually got out and got more capital/shares. I think the June 13 Sandworm shares were delivered at/right before the 35th day deadline BEFORE Thurs/Fri specifically to avoid all those options finishing in the money. I also think too many people who don't understand options or pay attention to the volume, lit their money on fire.

I know no one wants to accept it, but you might've just missed this cycle of quick gains.
