I believe that person is mistaken, or describing a bizarre shell game.

Unless you are a MM or a friend of an MM or doing an MM or bribing an MM, no individual investor can short a BB stock within the US of A.

You can hop a plane, go to Ya maica man or Bahamas or Tijuana or Vancouver and then you can short, but stateside it is totally reserved to the blessed wholesalers.

BTW, when you short you're supposed to receive money. What good would it be to post 100% collateral when you're SELLING?

I would hardly call that true shorting.
