No one should be able able to short a stock over 100% of the float and yet when it happens everyone looks the other way. So why should they stop? Slapping on the wrist with a small multi million dollar fine
Full transparency is required moving forward. If long positions are submitted the shorts should be treated the same and disclosed. T+0 would be great. Naked shorts and synthetic shares shouldn’t be required in this market. Married Puts and calls shouldn’t be able to used full stop to synthetically cover any positions.

In addition repeat violations should increase in 30% to impact the firms overall bottom line to ensure it is not the cost of doing
Hedge fund managers need to be held accountable by jail time for naked shorting a stock in order to bankrupt a company. Regular investors that believe in a company and buy into it to help a company grow with an intent to make a profit should not be on the short end of the stick here (no pun intended).
