In specific reference to QIN, I believe IMHO only that Glaucus' business strategy is to make money coming and going. Their shtick about bringing transparency to the market as a service is smog to cover up their tactic of knocking a company off-kilter with spurious reports, banking the profit from the short and then buying the stock cheap to ride the recovery.
Basically "smash 'n grab". I would expect they've already dumped their shorts and are accumulating QIN stock from already a few weeks ago. They leave wanna-be shorters who followed their trade to hold the bag. As can be seen from some posters on the QIN threads like B**M who I have on ignore.
How do I "know" all this? DYOR.
