That post explains what is going on. It is NOT manipulation. This is called market making and is essential to a functioning market. People must post the orders they are willing to buy and sell at in the orderbook. You are seeing a market trying to determine a good price for IPO. It just takes time for orders to come in and the bid-ask spread to come together.
The problem here seems more like people have jumped into stock trading in the simExchange, but haven't taken the time to understand the fundamentals of how a market works.
