I would look up things like "ledger balance", as opposed to "Tier 1 assets", "overnight lending", and how "taking a short position" actually works.

As for glitches in ledger balances, they happen all the time without any funds actually changing hands to anyone, and there is no way to "cover a short" with ledger balances.



I really think that if you are so passionate about this subject you really should take some time and effort to actually learn how it all works. It will give you campaigning a little more weight.
