It is difficult, at best, to know anyone's position in a private company without insider knowledge.

While it might be theoretically possible to short something using a company like SecondMarket, the prevailing wisdom is that if it's not public it's probably not being shorted.

I think everyone is, or has been, short on GroupOn.
