No shorting of financials allowed: who monitors this?

Quote from traderpro:

They use outside auditors and when the sale is before the buy(time wise) they can see this. They are cracking down on this so be careful.
The following data came out regarding DRL, which is what I suspected. During the time the shorting was forbidden of financials, including DRL, the DRL short position increased by 320,000 shares, http://www.nasdaq.com/aspxcontent/shortinterests.aspx?symbol=DRL&selected=DRL which is double the average daily volume of 147,158.

What do you all have to say about that?
 
I think he's reading the data wrong.

The short ban would have to be the exact 15 days of the timeframe of the short interest reporting to be accurate.
