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.

There is no options market for OTC securities, therefore no puts or calls.

What Does Married Put Mean?
An option strategy whereby an investor, holding a long position in stock, purchases a put on the same stock to protect against a depreciation in the stock's price.
