Yes, all that is true.

Implied volatility is simply plugging in the actual price of the option into the B-S formula and solving for the volatility variable.

But is it reasonable to expect implied volatility to be the same before and during a shorting attack? Assuming there is a shorting attack -- which is the basis of the scenario.
