Where are you seeing that these were derivatives? To my knowledge these are flat-out shorts. Derivatives don't contribute to short volume or short interest. There would also be no point in squeezing because they would never have to buy any stock

Their positions are leveraged shorts, look into the positions held by Melvin Capital and take a look at the Greeks for GameStop. It's extremely over leveraged and made the veil fall off on this fucked up gambling system we have in place.
