Comment on Tech Company With $39 In Assets Now Worth More Than $6Bparent

Looks like this is not listed on any major exchange, it's an OTC(Over the Counter) stock, which means trades are processed manually and many brokerages charge hefty fees and trades are settled many days later(if they're are settled at all). Shorting needs stock to borrow and sell, if shares are not available to borrow for a decent fee, you can't "naked" short sell the stock which will get you into trouble with the SEC.

I am guessing the owners are trading with themselves to pump up the stock to do some fishy stuff, like borrowing against their stock assets and then disappearing or something.
