Either make them relieve their position or ban them for trading for some time. 1b) don't let them self report giving them the option to lie. 2) ban dark pools. It does add liquidity, somehow.

More oversight and transparency is needed for short interest, options, and derivative products. It is not acceptable that there is a maximum threshold for short interest set at 140% where in actuality it could be much much higher. It also appears that there is no enforcement of false reporting.
