pretty clear if any party that is part of the transaction that doesnt own or have physical custody of the security it will be marked short despite being long.
Now as to HESG data, you can clearly see it ran the same issue for 2 years straight, for 2011-2012:
This is caused by being illiquid and at .0001 for a long periof of time, these type of tickers do not RS and continue to dump shares into the market no matter how much volume is present. Thus creating high short volume numbers.
In comparison, we can see yet another .0001 security with a 75 billion OS during periods of illiquid trading.
Actually this has less than HESG as it is for a smaller period of time in comparison. But you can certainly see when there is liquidity present the short volume numbers drop and when there isnt any liquidity the short volume increases. There many more like these and they all share the same common factors, low liquidity, .0001 price and continuous dilution no matter what volume is present.
