We shall see.
Please note the naked shorting scheme has been in design and practice against vulnerable, financially-distressed small companies, particularly small developing stage biotech companies facing a binary event of to live or to die
It's proven lucrative for naked shorting hedge funds for obvious reason: most such companies have gone under statistically and historically. So you can randomly pick any one of such company and the chance is very high that the company probably is under attacked by naked shorting.
The most significant characteristic of naked shorting is its stealthiness, secrecy, intended to practice without notice, and it's in a way sanctioned by SEC in the name of weeding out weeds (targeted small companies) for healthy growth for big multinationals, hereby maintaining market stability while protecting more victims (retail investors by discouraging investing in small companies).
They (naked shorting practice) will come and gone with huge profit untaxted for naked shorting hedge funds, only changes are the names of the companies they pounce upon, which will later disappear as well from their books buried in newly made billions
For this reason, the naked shorting scheme is rarely designed and practiced against big corporations, because it's almost impossible to maintain the stealthiness and secrecy needed for such lucrative practice if big corporations are naked shorted against.
As I said, we shall see
[In the case of NWBO, despite their decision to naked shorting of the naked shorting wolfpack, now they must have realized they will be wiped out if they still hold their naked shorting position all the way to TLD. Again we shall see]
[And I do agree with most people that the naked shorting hedges will in most times get news earlier than retail investors, which will be a sign to watch as well]
