"Naked shorty" is a myth to provide a scapegoat for front loaders as they sell for profit. Nobody shorts a sub penny stock, putting $2.50 in margin per share for a maximum gain of 100's of a penny, that's absurd to even suggest.
Those click bait sites intentionally mislead putting up short volume, which is simply the market makers doing their jobs to provide liquidity, covering predominantly all of it in an instant. Short interest is the metric, and this stock had zero shares shorted as of the last report date by FINRA.
I swear I’ll never use the phrase “you can’t make this stuff up” ever again after being on the OTC. Apparently you can.
