AFAIK the whistleblower already provided all the internal reports to the SEC and possibly the media. While a coverup is not impossible it would be incredibly high legal risk to put on employees. Also, such a massive BGP outage will draw a lot of attention and investigations into their networks and calls from investors. This has already impacted their stock value.
If I were them and planned to cover things up, I would do it quietly and discretely using someone with the highest privs possible and that knew how to cover their tracks. It is highly unlikely anyone would know the data is gone until someone went looking for it.
So no, I don't think this is a likely scenario.
