The HFs that shorted Gamestop specifically? I'd guess not. But others? Most certainly yes there are institutional players in this one.

HFs who shorted GameStop at $400+ are swimming in money right now.
You can only short if somebody who owns the stock is betting it going the other way though? I'm not sure all the technical details, but I'm pretty sure you can't just short as much GME as you want when everyone expects it to crash..
