The organization doing the shorting should not be the one reporting that it actually shorted or the current amount. Everything in the stock market should be electronic, reported as it happens by automated means, and documented for all to see in a central location. Everything in the stock market could be automated and these "market makers" / hedge funds are taking advantage of the system. There should always be someone doing a IV&V of everything that happens. Dark pools should not exist.
