I think the 22.3 million shares shorted in a concerted effort on June 30th is probably center stage right now. The unusually high volume that day, the Citron research report pulled. Andrew Left not taking his typical victory lap, and Tim Sykes spending hours on Twitter in a nervous chatter trying to downplay what happened. That is also center stage.

I'm sure if the right people pull at that thread, a lot will unravel. For one I think Tim Sykes is not ice in his veins bad ass he tries to portray. I think the first investigator or regulator that shows up on his doorstep and that kid signs his heart out.

Andrew Left is a hardened criminal. He has been involved activity like this before. For him to get brought down they will have to do some forensic analysis of his communications and computers. But I have no doubt he left a trail to follow, it probably starts with the document pull and working path back to who get the document earlier than was released. Then lining up who got early notice with who shorted.

Even better will be those that shorted freeing up money, more than they trade with usually. Thanks to the nature of greed, some of those financial moves are really going to stand out and paint a big picture that there had to be planning for this to happen.

Putting into context of other major shorts like when the housing market bubble popped, the shorts came out practically waving banners over being right. Andrew Left's Citron Research has a page dedicated to their victory laps. Here we have shorts diving for cover, telling people to move along nothing to see here.

It does not pattern with their typical behaviors. Specifically Tim Sykes and Andrew Left who are acting wildly out of character.

It begs a deeper look. I think there will be one.

I'm thinking you're right on this not being a naked short sale. My personal belief is that it was a series of wash sales. Whoever dumped those shares bought them back up and doesn't have to declare them on their taxes as a loss....because they made a gain at the end of the day.

But, hey I learned trading from a Wiki and a "Trading for Dummies" pamphlet. I'm triple up on my initial investments..scary to know what would have happened if I had gone to school for this.
