Borrowed stock has to be bought back eventually, to return to the stakeholder.
This happens for instance if someone would like to short the stock concerned.
It does not stop them, however to keep churning this stock over and over again and in doing so, money can be made by trading on low margins and cream of some money from retail investors.
You need to have a decent chunk of stock available to you, in order to do this and not being gazumped by others.
I would think, that 20 million or more could do the job.
Look at how many were stacked over the last week or so.
Now, who has that kind of shares?

Interesting to see, what their behaviour will be if a very positive announcement is about to be released. Will they retreat a day before, or will they put the screws tighter at that point?
How many times does one see a fantastic announcement being released, followed by a nice short run up for a day, maybe two and than see it all vaporise again as were we started.
I hope their strategy is interrupted with a flood of buying, when such announcement made.
