Should be soon. I’m guessing the “real” owners of those shares would like to sell them, now. What happens when they “don’t exist”, because they have been loaned out to someone else???

The holder of the short is then required to buy it at market price so as to return it to whoever loaned it to them. The problem is that they apparently created shorts for more shares than actually exist.
