WHO would short a stock at .0001???

Since I've been here we've been told
"No one would dare do it, risk is too high"
"Margin requirement too high"
"Reward is too low"

Well doing some dd for another reason, I came across evidence of a company being shorted at .0001. It was reported on their Bi-Monthly Short report. See below
At 'supposedly $2.50/share' margin would be $20,072,735.00
Maximum Profit=====$805.50 less 2 commission and the Price paid to cover

Did they bother to TRY TO COVER, in order to free up their margin? Apparently NOT ALL.

SHARES SHORTED
Oct 15, 2008===== 2,504,998
At $2.50/share, margin have been reduced to $6,262,495.00

Since NO TRADES WENT OFF AT UNDER .0001 and the SHORT HAD TO HAVE BEEN DONE AT .0001
LOSS WOULD HAVE BEEN SELL== $805.50 LESS commission(s)
BUY BACK TO COVER (@ .0001) $805.50 PLUS commission(s)

the shorts have gone NAKED (not reporting) to avoid embarrassment)

AND avoid the "$2.50 margin requirement", although something would be required.

OH, THE COMPANY NAME-----PAYCHEST (PYCT)
