lol, alan, you failed to mention that it has NOTHING to do with penny stock scams like FFGO...

In the real world, naked short selling doesn’t constitute much pressure on the price of a share. While the regulators would like to show off their work and stress to the public that negative share price developments are largely caused by speculators, reality can’t be further from the truth.

When a naked short sale is conducted, the party selling short owes the shorted shares to the buyer but instead “fails to deliver”. Such trades are almost exclusively conducted by market makers on the options market, as they are required to maintain liquidity in the set market."
