Your first paragraph contains a wealth of information, shady. Maybe this is why 4kids thinks JBI will be giving a divvy before it up-lists.
when there is a short position in a stock and said stock declares a dividened those who sold the short must pay the dividend. Also when a company uplists off the otc all stock is called and the shorts must cover. these two options also thwart the shorts.
Naked shorting is vehemently denied by the industry. The DTCC and the SEC and the MMs must collude for this to be possible. Many of startups have failed do to the lack of capital formation from the abuse of shorting. Google would be a fine source to start your education. JBII is at the sink or swim point, its all about risk and reward and usually retail gets the short end of the stick although this time NITE may get clubbed.
