LOL You must be referring to the Stockfolks posters. I haven't read anything about PYCT itself trying flush the shorts officially.
Talking about name change not coming from anyone at Paychest. Simply a Tom Hands, some posters rumor.
Curios though, as to what happen to that 500K???
BTW: Andy from Stockfolks has increased the short total to around 230 billion, lol That's certainly a pro clowning the sheep, so to speak!
Real changes, company name, symbol, etc., would/could/should provide the real proof about the short theories, IMO
