There's a chart that says "Morgan Stanley caught red handed with a massive short book" - but isn't this exactly what they're supposed to do with the "greenshoe"? I.e., oversell the offering by taking a short position themselves, then buy it back later to move up the price?



They went further than the greenshoe - Matt Levine has a great post breaking it down (see the second section of his post here: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-05-15/wework...).
