The hack happened in February, long before the protests.

If they can make up the hacking they can make up "February" as well.

Correct. They said they would hold on to the info and wait for reddit's IPO.

The info must have informed them that reddit is intentionally tanking to take down gme subreddits.

They know releasing it into their IPO will tank the company so thd threat now of all times makes sense.
