I wrote this in one of the other threads but got no reply. Since we're talking about shorting here now I'll post again...

So if someone shorts FFX over the demerger, they owe the lender the FFX + LLL after demerger. Would it be advantageous at all for these instos who have participated in the LLL shortfall offer to short FFX and then use their LLL they acquired at 70c to pay back the lender? I'm assuming there wouldn't be an advantage but can't quite get my head around it.
