I know the exact float on Merkur, It's about 13,5 million shares. When I say short, I mean the shares that the lenders has sold that has to be bought back from the open market, same effect as being short. If I subtract all the reported insider holdings to SEC from what is left on OTC, there is about 0,5m shares left in the float + the shares the lenders has sold, I have this confirmed by the company now.
