I doubt any DCGD investors have a margin account - and you have to have a margin account to short a stock.

The brokers can't use or borrow shares from a cash account to use for shorting.

You can call all of the brokers and they will tell you the same.

Penny stock shorting is used by pumpers to explain a drop in price - far more pump and dump scams have been prosecuted by the SEC than the nefarious shorting groups. Longs love to post about shorting but don't know the difference between short volume and short interest.
