“Professional” Short Sell “Activist” Can’t Tell the Difference from a SEC Form 144 and Form 4

One of everybody’s favorite short sellers tweeted on Twitter about Ran Poliakine’s recent form 144 filing.

A screenshot is below:

What he has failed to take into account is that a form 144 is intent to sale. Form 4s need to still be filed if a transaction has went through. Most likely Ran wanted to sale a small percentage of his shares thinking that FDA approval was going to go through early March. This hasn’t happened and it looks to me that a Form 4 wasn’t filled.

However, this tweet makes it sound like a form 4 have been filled when it wasn’t and seems to be intentionally misleading. If one can’t tell apart SEC forms and filings, I question their professional capabilities to release an investigative report on a company.

I do engage in research related to the sensory tech and medical device industry. However, I hold no relations to Nanox Imaging or working with Nanox Imaging. My only current conflict of interest is being long on its stock.
