I have no doubt MMs stopped this with vapor shares. It's what they do.,build a massive short position and kill the Ask by never allowing retail to take out the next ASK price. Then call in the dogs to bash and get retail to unload lower so they can cover. Created a rush for the exit. And it worked. I'm sure they are even today.
But FINRA dropped that new rule T+1 to cover. A good CEO should be raising hell if the short position goes on more that 48 hours.
Now retail shorting through their broker is between the individual and his broker. Thst has no effect on anything.
It's naked shorting to stop a run away that is criminal.
