I hear you...I thought there might be some way you could tell if it was a short sale as opposed to a straight-up sale of an owned share. Apparently the manipulating MM's can accumulate Fails to Deliver, and if a reverse split is done due to share price crashing, there is no way to ever deliver the shares shorted, and MMs like NITE just accumulate them on their balance sheet as an aged FTD, and the SEC doesn't give one healthy continental shit about them! They won't investigate even when the legwork is already done for them!
