Imaginary "shorts" are popular in Stinky-pinkyland. Those Nigerian off-shore naked shorting institutional hedge funds are even worse. FINRA doesn't report them because the short shares are smuggled inside empty coconuts, carried by African swallows.
Shorts of revoked/delisted stocks like LAHO are even more difficult to track!
