Great example of another negative effect from shorts, naked shorts, air shares, FTD's or whatever term strikes one's fancy.

33% extra votes could certainly sway company direction and decisions. If they vote for things like S-8's, it makes it much easier to continue shorting.

Heck, I bet they could short one right into bankruptcy if they chose to do so, but I'm sure there's not that much evil in the market...
