The author claims retail pumpers who previously promoted the stock have flipped positions, bought puts, and are shorting to profit from a panic sell-off. Main risk is that the Phase 3 trial could still succeed despite these concerns.", "thesis_short": "SLS has major red flags, pumpers now shorting", "quote": "SLS is run by a CEO and founder whose MD comes from a known degree mill.
