Those are from fail to deliver or third legs of transactions by the mm that were open for less than a day to complete trades. Not shorts at all. It’s all a big joke of an excuse to pump.
Mm are not traders and sole job is to make a liquid market. They don’t trade for profit only to make sure there is a market to trade in, aka, share supply. They aren’t some nefarious entity out to get everyone. Lmao the conspiracy theories are think on these boards with little knowledge.
