There’s so much misinformation about shorts. I don't know why any astute trader would think the pink sheets are being abusively shorted. The financial requirements alone prevent abusively shorting OTC stocks like KEGS.
Hypothetically speaking, locate the shares, start a short with 1,000,000 shares @ $.0001. That's $100. for the principal and $2,500,000 in required Maintenance Margin, as well as at least 102% of the principal in what is called Supplemental margin.
There will be about 20% in fees and commissions. IF a successful short is made, gains are capped to 99%, HIGHEST GAIN POSSIBLE would be about $79. Meanwhile the trader has put over $2,500,000 at risk.
No one would be that foolhardy to risk it on an OTC stock with next to no gain.
