Seriously - how do they cover these losses?
Go get a bailout from Congress.
Bigger concern is they liquidate the other holdings of the hedge fund and it tanks the market.
They start selling off other stocks, even at a drastic loss, to cover their shorts. Good luck finding buyers who'll pay top dollar in the economy that Wall Street set up by stealing an election. I wonder if they'll ask SEC Janet Yellen to return some of her $800,000 of "speaking fees".
They'll regret chasing out President Trump, the one non-politician who really wanted to Make America Great Again. A strong economy would have precluded the shorting and would also have given these funds other stocks of increasing value.
