if the market makers naked shorted the stock(sold stock that they did not have) the company is not responsible for that, the market maker needs to buy the stock or get it from some place to deliver, the campany said they sold 138,000 shares pre-split, volume that week was about 500,000, say 250,000 were buys, that leaves about 112,000 shares unaccounted for, i bet the market makers sold those shares like they always do, sell something that they do not have...the TA also said you will get the shares if you were not short, confirms my theory, but we will see...
