Apparently one can request a list of 'current' (at least recent) short positions plus who issued them.

Hedge funds, hedge funds, hedge funds.

A hedge fund is a pooled investment fund that trades in relatively liquid assets and is able to make extensive use of more complex trading, portfolio-construction and risk management techniques to improve performance, such as short selling, leverage, and derivatives.[1] Financial regulators generally restrict hedge fund marketing except to institutional investors, high net worth individuals and others who are considered sufficiently sophisticated.
Bit of an old boys network. Someone needs to change that.
