do you question existence of shorts:

shortsqueeze.com last report: short shares 42m, 180m outstanding = approx 25% shorts

shortanalytics.com reports: at least 40% short sales since April 18th

or the nexus between existing short positions and the eventuality of a bear raid?

the latter i admit is mere supposition without statistical proof... but if the data supports or even hints at approval don't you think the big short position holders know the probabilities of such through well-staffed research departments?

i see a well-choreographed bear raid if approval deemed likely by these big shorts. i see no need of a raid if they deem likelihood minimal or non-existent.

we'll know soon enough
