I think it is actually a good point. Because there is very little liquidity for facebook stock at the moment and no way to short the stock, it is very easy for 2 or 3 investors to collude and just for $6.5 million, increase the stake of other investors by billions of dollars.
This is also what happens in real estate markets in some cities in India. 2 or 3 property brokers (real estate agents) will come together to buy a plot of land at double the existing price and create a lot of hype in newspapers around that. And with a small investment they increase the value of their portfolio many fold. Something like this can be happening here also as FB is still not public.
