Rocket Man, only a matter of time for those at FINRA who are aiding and abetting to be addressed.
There are no secret/silent trades that allow market makers to cover a short position. If they go short to fill your buy, they need to buy to cover that short. That trade will show up as volume on the tape. It is not omitted as some claim. At least it shouldn't be.
Do market makers short without having inventory (naked shorting)? The answer is yes, of course they do. If they are able to find/access inventory to back a short sale, after shorting naked, they should be recording those transactions as short exempts. This has never happened for FFGO.
Huber's office needs to put out an update on the FINRA website to back up their offices claims. So they are not tripped up and left speechless when the "caller" is mor3e educated/knowledgeable than they are.
