Good question! If you simultaneously short a stock and disseminate fabricated negative information to drive the stock down, you, or for example a hedge fund, might be guilty of securities fraud and punishable by the SEC>> https://www.sec.gov/tcr
On the other hand, if you short a stock and the company whose shares you shorted turned out actually to be crooks and were shut down by the SEC, of course you would win the lotto and not have to cover, thus pocketing the proceeds of your short sales. GL!
