Can a multi - millionaire organize a bank-run without breaking any laws while shorting the stock of the bank ?

A friend of mine sent this Reddit post to me a few weeks ago. It's quite interesting and could be considered a good idea. Obviously, it wouldn't be possible to organize something like this when you have less than $1m in your bank account, but I feel like a billionaire or even a multi-millionaire ($100M+) can make my plan work.

This is the original post;

Is it illegal to keep withdrawing money from a bank account deposit it at a different bank, transfer it back over and withdrawing it again to cause a bank run to short a stock?
 

I just found out a local shitty bank is a publicly traded stock with a 2 billion dollar market cap. And I’d like to short it.

My plan is to withdraw cash like 100$ from them and deposit it with a different bank then transfer it back to them and withdraw the same 100 $ until they run out of physical cash. I would then go around and let people know that when I tired withdrawing money from them that there was no cash to withdraw.

This in turn should cause a bank run and I’m assuming a decent amount of people would close their accounts leading for the stock price to fall.

Puts are extremely cheap and I would love for this bank to go out of business or lose public trust.

HAs anybody tried this method before? Are there any REAL downsides?

This plan has some flaws, so I will share mine.

I think you would need more than 10-15 people with more than $100M+ in total to do something like this. They would deposit their money to the bank's branches in big cities from a year ago with multiple accounts. I assume, when you deposit a big amount of money to a small bank, they would transfer it to a local reserve or something like that, so even the big branches of the bank wouldn't hold this money.

A year after, as your team start withdrawing their money from the branches of the bank in small cities, where the banks have a very low amount of physical cash, the branches of the bank in small cities would start to run out of money. Then, you can inform local and national newspapers about this situation, and pay some Twitter accounts to make news about it, along with other social media creators/newspapers. As the people who use this bank go and try to withdraw their money in these cities, they would face the harsh truth and be very panicked. They would start complaining online, and probably start a hashtag on Twitter. You can support this hashtag by buying bot accounts to make it seen by everyone. All of this would happen in a matter of hours. As more news comes out, the management and the investors of the bank would start to shit in their pants. They would request physical cash from the local reserves and probably transfer some of the money from big branches to small branches. Then, your team would start to withdraw the rest of their money from the big branches of the bank. And as more news come out, even the people that are in big cities would start to try to withdraw their money, but wouldn't be able to, they would start to lose their minds and complain everywhere, this would cause misinformation and more panic. Everyone would start to assume that the bank will go bankrupt. Small investors and big firms would start to short the stock of the bank, and even big investors of the bank may sell their stocks. This may really end with the bankruptcy of the bank, but at the end of the day, you and your team would make the biggest profit.

I feel like my plan would work perfectly, but I'm just a student who is interested in finance so... What are your thoughts?
