come on dude, you can't be that stupid, can you?
Facebook was a "distressed asset" pre-IPO?
It's the same concept. Someone was looking for liquidity. And that market likely bought it for a song. I don't think it's distressed but the concept was buy below value and sell above that for a profit.
ETA: the same thing happened this year in the REIT market. No liquidity but users wanted out. Tons of companies opened up to buy those REITS for a song

"Fiscal policy is in shambles and Obama himself saying monetary policy is taking the market's burden entirely"
"Italian politics have had a roller coaster the past couple days"
"Japan raises consumption taxes for the first time in two decades and the second time EVER"
"Let me go over and look at Money Talk, I'm sure there are some interesting discussions going on."
