"they have not 'sold' to the company in trouble, they have 'sold' to a third party. All they now have to do is 'buy' the shares they have shorted. And they are getting cheaper every day with the result that the gain is getting larger. There will be any number of investors wanting to off-load."
It's extremely difficult to buy shares back if they're suspended - effectively you can only do so directly with another shareholder and you have to find one willing to sell.
Otherwise you are stuck waiting for the company to re-list or be liquidated, all the time paying interest to the person you borrowed the shares off.
No idea what's going to happen to SGH though. Waiting with baited breath.
