The OTC market did not have these shorting problem until they removed the Up-Tick Rule in 2007

After that it has been an occasional blood-bath...

The uptick rule was a rule from the Securities and Exchange Commission that prevented short sellers from putting more pressure on a security that was already languishing.

The uptick rule is a trading restriction that states that short selling a stock is only allowed on an uptick. Short sales were not permitted on minus ticks or zero-minus ticks, subject to narrow exceptions." The rule went into effect in 1938 and was removed when Rule 201 Regulation SHO became effective in 2007.
