"They incorrectly listed the shorts positions to avoid detection"
That is not what is says does it. I know you would like to believe that that is what it means...but it doesn't.
None of the regsho violations they report "hide" a short position. The FTD's still show up. Sometimes I think these SEC actions are like a Rorschach test for penny investors in figuring out what they "see".
Some people would probably be embarrassed about spouting this nonsense if they actually understand how trade reporting works.
