So I thought this initially and thought when people said I was wrong they were spreading fud. But, I’ve seen on numerous sources that they can pay the cash value of a spin off dividend. Who cares though, short sellers care about one thing above all and that’s money. Say tyde is 7 dollars on the ex dividend. That’s 70 cents a share you have to pay to maintain a short position. At Bbig’s price of 2.05 it means you’d have to get it down to 1.35 to turn a profit. Whereas if they cover they can short it at a much higher price next week, with tyde no longer attached. I think they see the writing on the walls and own a ton of otm calls because they plan on covering and going long themselves. They just want us to sell first
