Very good post. Crucial issue. Many times on this board people have asked 'how can the shorts be so confident?'. Did not make sense on the basis of the debunked hit pieces alone. Logically when time passed w/o resignation, the odds that there would be a 10K increased, but shorts kept piling onto their positions. Makes only sense if you are not just confident, but really sure about something.

There was an awful lot of money on the line (+ the necessity to keep the fear factor in the China RTO space for hedge funds to play with) and I think from the end of Jan hundreds of M$ have changed pockets. Shorts had a lot at stake, even more than longs, and kept piling on. Possibility of massive squeeze; shorts managed twice to escape from RegSho list. The timing of events makes one ask questions.

Big money won and we will probably never know how. Bit I don't think it was the fud of the hit pieces.
