The ability of individuals and companies to not have to report short positions is completely illogical and to me seems coincidental to the nefarious activity surrounding it. Even if no illegal activity is taking place it is a similar position to both calls and puts, that are both required to be reported. I hope FINRA takes my comments (and those of my fellow stock markets citizens) seriously, and investigates how to promote transparency aand trust in the market.
