Those very SEC filings are under the utmost scrutiny of the SEC as being fraudulent!
Go back and look at the SEC's failure to deliver data around that time...didn't happen. No Reg SHO trigger, thus no "naked short" as you claim!
The rest of your "thesis" will be read on a later date. Somehow, based on your opening argument, I do not have the time to figure out what you are trying to say.
I just read your first couple of examples and while those types of shorts are called "naked" they aren't really.
That's very common, funders and insiders shorting against their own convertibles or restricted stock. They cover with their own stock, not on the open market. They are in effect borrowing their own stock for the short sales.

In that case there would be fails to deliver...there aren't any, or not many anyways. If memory serves it was about 55k shares at the end of December.
