Those numbers and those websites are frequently cited as "proof" of "massive" shorting but they are not what they seem.

It's BS, in fact. It is foisted on the naive who don't know better and then just spread around by the other naive investors out there.

FINRA has explained it and OTC Markets has even made several posts discussing it, including as recently as just last month as a refresher.
