I don't understand how the scenario you describe hurts the shorts any worse than instead just continuing trading until audit is complete, and then announcing before, during, or after market...."Deloitte is done, no restatement (or whatever), and here are the results...."
How does halting the stock make the pain worse for shorts in any practical way?
