Re: "By transferring shares to you from the broker’s inventory."
If they had the shares, there would not be an FTD.
I really do not think this is a significant issue. More FTD's probably come from op-ex than naked shorts. Still, much can easily be cleaned up by technology, and that would shut up the tin-hats.
