The problem is you are basing the “fact” that the number was given upon the posting/statement of others- not reading it for yourself.
I’ve never seen documented proof of that number beyond pure internet speculation.
Doesn’t mean it isn’t a possibility, of course, but it also doesn’t make it factually real.
You have to ask yourself why the pumpers/backers/etc are constantly screaming so loud and trying to prove themselves, with the LCD trucks, etc?
If the short exists, it will have to be settled, you shouldn’t have to “sell the story” to anyone.
Trade accordingly.
