<<<the note holders, as far as I can tell, have no warrants they can exercise and dump to start a death spiral, so they'd have to go out and borrow shares like anyone else if they want to short it.>>> This goes back to an earlier question I tried to answer. Do convertible holders short the shares they convert? Why would they do that instead of shorting first and then covering with the shares obtained from converting the warrants? And if they shorted using their own shares, they'd have to buy them back and then sell them again? I think I'm missing something here. Can you explain what you meant? Thanks
