Yup.
And one might also rationally assume that the naked shorting in NWBO (to the extent it exists) is coming from those who LP is doing business with.
They pump it before the deal, short the top, cover with discount shares. Pocket the free warrants for to cover the next round in the game.
Both the total short position and FTD numbers are fairly small here. The required SEC reported numbers disagree with the "Less Phone" assertion that it is HUGE.
Of course when the "Less Phone" messages turns sour it was just a poor relay by a trusted posted. But as long as it is good for hype, it is golden.
BTW, I will pick after hours Tue for the financing.
