Reverse manipulation?

Can shorts turn the tables on Vinik et al by reversing the process? For exmaple, can shorts box their short bets, then put those AMZN long shares into a margin account? Wouldn't this in effect create more shares to borrow for shorting?

I ask this becasue a friend who trades full time called me today to let me know what he has been hearing. Not being a full time trader, I really don;t know how these big money games work.
