Well, Since the SEC notified SPNG on the 18th of the investigation, you have to wonder whether they started shorting it from then on. For a September 30 settlement date the last trade date for the short sales is Friday September 25th.
The 8K they filed about the investigation was accepted by the SEC at 2009-09-25 17:26:24 - AFTER HOURS as was all reporting on that investigation. I wonder if there was some insider trading going on.
September 15 settlement date showed a short interest of 239,511 shares.
