That's because it's naked shorting. The order hasn't been filled yet. Every buy is going towards filling the short order that's currently naked. It won't register as shorted shares because it's naked at the moment.

Broker's do short their clients and market makers manipulate stocks as well. It's not illegal unless there's suspicious activity that would warrant it(a pattern, abusive naked shorting)

Many shares are naked and it's not your average Joe

Glad to clear that up.
