Yes, but for that you first need a lot of money (especially if you're buying other positions as 'cover') and a lot of preparation time (as going deep into puts just before the hack is extremely suspicious). And then you're still in hell, because instead of having a total damage amount of 120k$ plus some vague twitter downtime you now have cost investors millions of dollars and are in the highly illegal territory of stock market manipulation, instead of a rather simple scam with modest damage. Also, saying "I've read that on WSB" is nice, but the FBI is still going to take your equipment for a nice inspection. No fun, I can tell you that.
