Yes, the Market Makers sell puts to hedge funds and then sell an equivalent amount of shares of fails to delivers to the hedge funds. This why they are called married puts.

These fails to deliver are then used as bullets to drive the price down.

If the SEC or FINRA approaches the hedge fund and asks why they are selling fails to delivers, the hedge fund answers that they didn't know.
