the only thing that seems to keep them honest is when overwhelming buying volume, forces them to back off the ask. at which point they will back off the ask until the stock finally reaches a price point that stops the buying volume. and then they just reshort it again, knowing they'll be able to guide down the price typically for at least 3 days, while most traders are waiting for their funds to settle for any shares they sold, before being able to buy back.
so in many cases the actual share structure is irrelevant. because the MMs aren't trading real shares anyway. They're just printing shares to meet demand, that they are allowed to 'cover' later as needed.
as evidence that this is the typical norm on the OTC just look at most any chart. almost nothing has a sustainable trend up. the upward moves all happen fast and look like short squeezes because that's what they all are. because its pretty much the only way they let anything move up. when they are forced to move it up quickly by overwhelming volume.
you will also notice that typically mid day in the trading day,
when volume dries up, they take the opportunity move the price down, sometimes dramtically. when the price moves down, then all the shares they've shorted look nice and green on the books. whether they have covered or not.
no idea why this system has been allowed to exist.
except for the fact it makes the market makers enormous profits
and stacks the deck against the individual trader/investor.
