the short positions closed as shown from shortman, so even if 40% vol of 24-26 aug were for closing short positions, that's max 1m closed before today, that's only 20% of short positions, then why in such hurry to sell his shares? why the pump & dump then bounceback before close yesterday? why the news was released unofficially last night and who released it to afr?
