Since I love conspiracy theories 
* Deal announcement just days away
* Need to let the "big dogs" buy in at a good price.... Hmmm... How to do this...
* Get the Market maker to push the price down on a slow day (like today)
* Buy deep-in-the-money calls with only about 2 1/2 weeks of time value left.
* Wait a few weeks and collect the big $$$$ (or stock if that is what you needed).
