Please please please change short position regulations to account for arranged financing of synthetic shorts. The US's economic system has become beyond strained and failure to account for synthetic shares both creates an enormous assymetry to the detriment of retail investing and also contributes to contribute malfeasance by unscrupulous hedge funds, market makers, and their enablers.
