seems to me that if the insiders knew of the coming cancelation announced on the 13th, they would have had to have shorted prior to the 13th. and if they wanted to cover with the most bang for their buck, it would have been around $2 which , came on april 17th , at the earliest... so, since the short interest as of the 15th, is basically unchanged, that means that anyone who shorted prior to the announcement, covered already... or they replaced shares already in the short interest count from the prior month that went ahead and covered. That presumes shorting through normal channels. I don't see that as likely. IT would get far too ugly in court if that were the case. the other alternative would be offshore shorting... But, I doubt it... Really... I'd say it is what it is. Nasdaq got slammed, stock didn't zoom up based on 3:2 announcement, Hertz got "the Call" They cancelled split... Hertz is 40 million lighter in the pocket, and some 90million paper loss.
