Opportunity, I think it would be rather obvious that Smithline would be wanting to get some money back from his loan. For the $200,000 he converted in September, both dates were right when the stock peaked at 27 and 28 cents. If he was lucky, he probably made another 100 grand in addition to the $200,000.
I am not subscribed the any of the pay sites for short listings because I have no interest in shorting stocks. If you have the data you mentioned, copy it and put it on the board. It would be interesting to have the proof that the stock was being shorted.
