The following link is FINRA's official site for determining short interest in traded equities. If you look, you will see there is ZERO short interest in BIEL. It is nearly impossible to short a penny or sub-penny stock, due to both prohibitive risks and costs. Most US brokers will not allow it, and offshore entities will often charge a significant premium per shorted share.
The MOASS is a complete myth when it comes to penny stocks. The daily reg sho report, often cited as a statement of 'short interest' represents failures to deliver, NOT true short interest as a bet on falling share price.
Nobody is getting burnt except investors stuck in the trips.
