How transparent are Bitcoin exchanges with regards to delivery of BTC being shorted? Have we looked into the potential for naked short selling, which would involve the allowance of infinite short selling, to the point of selling more BTC than even exists?

I don't think any of the exchanges allow for short selling at all.

Well you are totally wrong.

All the big ones do, except Stamp.

Kraken Account, Robbed/Emptied. Kraken say "Fuck you, its your loss": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1559553.msg15656643#msg15656643

Bitfinex victims. DO NOT TOUCH THE BFX TOKEN! Start moving it around, or trading it, and you will be construed as having accepted it as an alternative means of payment to your USD, BTC, etc.

How do they collect on loans if the price goes up too much before you cover your short trade?

Do you need to submit a credit application?

I can see huge problems with short selling bitcoin.
