Thats exactly what I'm saying...

To your point about short position relative to float size and outstanding share numbers, there are actually a number of documented cases of short positions greater than the number of ISSUED shares,not just greater than the float..! Google naked shorting or naked short selling and see what comes up...
Copmanies have been ruined by this tactic...(fyi- you donot have to be actually naked to naked short a stock..market makers do it all the time with their pants on..)

Even if the number of shares short is half the 5 mill number, thats still huge...
