The HOA failed to pay the property taxes on the road and the property went up for auction. The couple bought it, and then stayed quiet about it for two years before demanding the residents pay them rent to use the road.
The residents were furious and went to the San Francisco city council and demanded the return of their road. The courts nullified the sale and gave the street back to the rich folks.
I expect the same will happen with these stocks. The sales will be canceled, including the shorts, and it will be like nothing happened.
Except that it did.

If people are led to believe whatever they purchase in the stop market can be overturned at any time, I want to watch the markets crash and crash hard.
