I did not state ASTA was being “abusively” shorted.
I stated that unlawful NAKED SHORTS exist.
FACT
The data on these site match the FINRA data exactly and that seems legitimate. Since I am not an officer of the court, I can’t comment to the accusations you present with such precision. Pumpers and dumpers are equally capable of deception.
I don’t put much stock in anything a pseudo regulatory group says. The entire penny stock market as we have known for decades is going the way of comp-u-serve.
Most of these tickets will fizzle and die. Smart Contracts are here to stay.
