All options and warrants get shorted. It is the least risk strategy. Always sell first and lock in your profit. And if you need to hide the fact that you are shorting against your options/warrants it can simply be achieved through the use of an off-shore brokerage/bank.
The only time I have even seen anyone actually pay for options is a) if they are insiders and the cash goes back to pay their salaries or b) when someone knows a big positive event is about to happen but their options/warrants are set to expire beforehand.
