How are you able to ascertain that there has been naked short selling for 3 years? I don't have any reason to doubt you but what proof is there. Do you know who the brokers and traders are that have engaged in this practice respecting GBN? GBN has been one of the most undervalued and least understood exploration/small producers in the gold sector. With production only months away, Ron Netolitzky and Tony Perry at the helm and significant blue sky exploration, the story is finally getting out. If there are naked shorts as you say, aren't they likely to lose their shirts over the next several weeks?
