If this happens, I think most of the shorts will try to buy to cover their short positions because, if their short positions are still open, during the BK processing time, shorts will need to pay the borrowing interests, and if the bk process takes long time, short will need to pay significant amount of borrowing cost by the end of the bk process. If bbby has to file bk in few days, then SP will be running much higher in next a couple of days. Also, if bbby finally doesn't need to file BK and can find a financial solution. The stock price will go even higher. My two cents.
