If Melvin Capital got out, then why was the stock still 140% shorted after that announcement? I thought that 11% of the shorted stock was from Melvin Capital, it doesn't make sense that there was no significant change in that figure.

I am not trying to conspire, genuinely curious.

Source?

Also potentially new shorters getting in? I shorted AMC yesterday and have made quite a bit today.

with the stock price through the roof other funds (and retail investors) see it as a good opportunity to short.
