Even if the deal isn't real, doesn't mean that you won't get burned on your short, if indeed you are short, because I haven't found a broker who will let you short a penny stock and I've been around the market for a long time.
Let's just say that you were long a stock who had a legit deal going, but the shorts and hedges were controlling the volume. You would loose money.
Your may loose money on that short if they continue to crank the PR press until the market likes something, regardless of whether it is the truth or not. Remember most of the PR stories on the OB and pinkies are BS. Probably 90%.
