To follow up on REG SHO:

For a "hard to borrow" security or a threshold security, however, a broker-dealer may not re-apply a locate for intraday buy to cover trades.4 SEC guidance has explained that, without obtaining locates prior to each short sale in hard to borrow or threshold securities, it is unlikely that a broker-dealer executing short sales in such securities would have reasonable grounds to believe that the securities can be borrowed so that they can be delivered on the date that delivery is due on each trade.5

That is the short interest you see that is posted bi weekly on the OTC Market Groups website and is what has remained outstanding. Again, REG SHO covers that(noted above) Now, if this equity was at a price that could be economically viable to short...it would be much higher and as mentioned in a prior post ..a reason why they need to be separated form the broker/dealer for better transparency.

As referenced here:

Professionals understand that separating actual customer short sales and calculating a separate net change in market maker positions at the end of the trading day would provide a better metric for investors and regulators in determining actual short sale activity in a trading day. Unfortunately, this important information cannot be ascertained from the current FINRA Short Sale Daily Volume File.
