When this got shut down there was 3k in short interest. Anyone who was paying attention and shorted this had months to close it out at a penny, and getting the extra penny wouldn’t seem worth the time to wait until the liquidation closed out.

I’d love to see what it says in an account of a short position. Can’t imagine brokers would make anyone wait this long though. The IRS would have wanted income tax on the position in 2019 as the gain should have been booked for 2018 or could even be subject to penalty.
