Correct thus why the release of Short Interest reports are delayed as well as FTD data. It prevents exposing exact positions, especially in illiquid securities like the OTC.

You can sometimes spot short interest in FTD data but the stock is likely illiquid and very small positions and 9f course by the time the FTD report publishes the likelyhood of that position existing in the current day is very small.

I have only found a couple of examples over the years.
