when you short a stock you only have so long to cover...you don't get months to cover, it's only a matter of days, so the ones shorting either lost a shitpot full of money, or they covered. it's one or one or the other. shorters don't get forever to pay when they they can't cover
"How could they cover 500M-1BN NSS when SRGE longs are not selling?"
There are no shorts, naked or otherwise, on obvious scam SRGE.
Where on Earth did that ludicrous and entirely fictional figure of 500 million to 1 billion shares come from?
It's no wonder scams like SRGE can thrive with the amount of palpable and frankly rather pathetic misinformation that gets repeated and accepted without the slightest foundation for it in the first place.
If there were naked shorts then there would have been people complaining that they did not receive the dividend. I saw no such complaints, therefore no naked shorts.
