Am I correct in saying that if someone can forecast approximately when that will happen, they can short the stock and make money off of the mass selloff? Essentially putting the short sellers back where they started (in a sense)?

In principle, but it's fundamentally challenging to forecast this kind of thing. For example, Kodak is still up almost 300% (down from like 1,000% in July) on the news of a government loan they haven't received and a pivot to pharmaceuticals manufacturing they haven't started.
If you think you can outsmart both the hedge funds and WSB, go right ahead. I for one will simply regret my lack of faith causing me to miss out on 4000% returns (so far) and move on.
