Imagine you have 10000 shares of a company and you lend them to your broker to sell to a short seller. The short sells your stocks, and you buy the shares. You then repeat this process. (And it just so happens to work out this way every time. Cosmic dice or what not?).
What happens as this process repeats itself? (Regarding any dividends or voting power, if nothing else?)
Is there a protection or law in place to prevent it?
Am I describing a concept I could have probably googled?
