Yes, but there's a lot of room between ~$150k (that the defrauded bitcoins are worth) and what counts as "serious money" that will get you caught -- contradicting the clickbait thesis of "you couldn't have made more money" than the hacker. This is especially true in an environment of a stock that's heavily shorted already.

And if you really want to be pedantic, the hacker has made $0 from it so far, since the Bitcoins haven't been transferred anywhere to cash out. Which is pretty easy to beat :-p
