The article at your link presents an explanation that is somewhat plausible. Their story:
the “real” option transaction was for 12 “contracts” (one contract is for a block of 100 shares) or 1200 shares in total. Software used by a vendor incorrectly multiplied by 10,000 ALL the transactions listed in the report sent to the SEC. No one sold puts for 12,000,000 shares of Truth Social, and no client of Austin Private Wealth ever had that many to sell. A list of varied put transaction is shown.
Hmm. It’s not unusual for financial reports to list large numbers in thousands. But 10,000? The list of puts supposedly given to the SEC includes a lot of transactions in share quantities far below 10,000. Some are in 4 digits, like “1361”. So we are asked to believe that someone sold 0.1361 shares times the 10,000 error = 1361 on the report. Yet puts are sold by the contract block of 100, not some tiny fraction of a share. There might be a real explanation to be made, but the one at the link has some problems.
