Substantially all of those shares have a "restrictive legend" on them, which requires them to be marked as a short sale, even though the person owns the shares. There is a time process to "clean the shares", hence they are not delivered immediately and are considered short.
There have been hundreds of millions of shares created like this over the years. So a very substantial amount of the selling is marked "short."
My long-winded point is that "Paulson" represents much more than an individual or a firm.
