NMGL - Management is about to teach those short a very costly lesson. Since there are claims that no shorts exist, when the dividend is set, FINRA should have no complaints filed against the company to stop the process. Shareholders would not be filing a complaint against a dividend distribution, and neither should non existing shorts.
If shorts do file a complaint to block the dividend, and it is later discovered that there was a MASSIVE naked short interest position HIDDEN in brokerage accounts, then either those committing the crime pay what shareholders are asking for their shares, and/or all of those knowledgeable and responsible for the illegal acts go to prison for their treason and tax fraud crimes against American Investors.
