No. Naked short would be when I sell without borrowing hoping that the stock will drop sufficiently (or new shares will be available for borrowing) that by the time settlement occurs (T+2) I will be able to cover. The “fraud” of naked short is that you fail to deliver the shares at settlement to the new owner. If you re-borrow shares then that’s different since then you really do have shares to deliver.

If a stock is lent multiple times then at least one of the borrowers can’t deliver and hence are naked
