Guys. This is bad news. But it's a tiny, transient issue, which they've already corrected.

If you're serious about considering this evidence of fraud, it would be great to get an idea of how much you've shorted since the story came out (or plan on shorting Monday morning). Groupon's stock is down about 6% after this story, and I don't see any comments that indicate that this raises the odds that Groupon will collapse by a mere 6%.

While there are lots of flaws with Groupon's current model, it's not very nice to jump on them for comparatively minor stuff like this.

Apparently there were investors who wanted to after the IPO, but chose not to simply because there were too many others looking for shares to borrow. Has shorting GRPN become less expensive and risky between then and now?
