It is you who are intentionally being misleading on this issue. Any company financing, including NASDAQ companies, that finance with warrants open the door for short selling. The goal is to trade the stock in a narrow band below the strike knowing exercising the warrant is the proverbial safety net. Did this lender finance the company previously, if so did they own shares and at what price because they could have sold out of existing shares and used that money for the current financing. The stock runup could have allowed the Company or one of its entities to sell shares also.

If news continues to be positive it will not matter, but this type of shorting against warrants is very common. Another odd statement you proffered is that you know who bought all the shares traded?
