Rigger is anyone with enough capital that purposely manipulates the stock to fulfill their agenda, they can be MM's, hedge funds, big traders, prop desks etc...
This action was exactly the same on SPI, they pulled the same tricks to lock the float: they had a tight mid-range consolidation and would trap both sides (by clearing the highs and lows over and over again), They key tell was when the stock downside halted and everyone thought it was toast, but even then they still reclaimed it.

I did really expected this to fade after hours. when you say "riggers" you mean market markers?
