Not if you did it in a smart way. Let's say you could arbitrarily make transactions. Probably the best way to do it would be to steal all the coins from a particular exchange, like Coinbase. Then everyone would think Coinbase pwnd but bitcoin is fine. Rinse and repeat with other exchanges once a year and you can make a hefty profit.
