"So you sell shares you don't own and buy them back at a lower price. Isn't that the definition of shorting?"

Sort of... except there is no betting the shareprice will drop before buying back... which is what actual shorts do.

Someone wants to buy 500k @ $.002 at the ask. Someone wants to sell 500k @ $.0017 at the bid... The MM immediately executes both and pockets $.0003!

Oops... just generated a 500k short per FINRA!

These are not shorts... just Market Makers doing their job!
