what happens if short during Trading Suspension / Halt

Scenario

Trader is short ABCD company due to ongoing rumors and speculation of fraud.

A few months later, the SEC orders a trading suspension to the shares.

Now what ? How can the trader exit his position (he is short, he does not "own" shares)

Thanks

 

How can the trader exit his position?

Given that, as you stated, there is a trading suspension, it follows that the trader cannot exit his position.

 

what happens if i give a fart to a puddle?

 

You will be paying interest on the borrow for a long time

 

He also won't have to pay taxes on his gains for a very long time.
