Sure, take out huge loans you can't pay back and borrow everything you can from friends and family.
Then blow it all on hookers and coke in Vegas. If the shorts win (you), get the fun of everything you spent it on for pennies on the dollar, because you'll never pay it all back.
Or, the longs win (everyone else) and you strike it rich, having to give back all the money and face the consequences anyway.
