This doesn't make much sense. One way Citadel could have known there was a massive number of buy orders would be to simply read WSB.

WSB didn’t know about RH buy orders going to zero for everyone until at least half an hour after it happened. Citadel knew before anyone else on the market and could act accordingly to short.
