reddit crash conspiracy idea (input from network/it appreciated!)

hey everyone, hoping to find someone with some networking or IT experience that could maybe validate whether my conspiracy has any ground or not. I'm wondering about more about technical possibility than anything. here's a scenario based on public information.

​

  • reddit, uk gov, paypal, twitter, twitch, and more crash early morning june 8th
  • the CDN provider is blamed
  • the CDN runs on a customized version of open source software
  • (assuming because open source) with effort, anyone could learn the language the CDN runs on, but how to get inside?
  • the CDN uses a popular workplace messaging platform for internal collaboration and customer service
  • this messaging platform has a history of being able to review messages sent on it
  • certain large financial institutions are upset with certain stocks being discussed on reddit. why does this matter?
  • the institution having the most trouble with these reddit posts owns the 7th highest institutional stake in said messaging platform (there are 30+ institutions implicated in having trouble with reddit stock discussions as per SEC filings)
  • the same institution was in charge of helping the messaging platform become a public company, which went so well the SEC started investigating it
  • the person in charge of information security on the internal messaging platform worked on/possibly designed reddit's security and privacy systems
  • years ago that same person was in charge of info security at another large financial institution implicated manipulation of said stock discussions

TO SUM UP

Let's say a person had time to learn/prior knowledge of this specific open source software, access to the CDN's internal messages, and significant knowledge of reddit's security system. Let's say large financial institutions want redditors to stop talking about certain stocks. One of these institutions owns the 7th largest stake in the internal messaging system this person has access to. Our hypothetical person previously worked for another large financial institution implicated in the SEC filings, prior to working at reddit.

Do any IT or networking people see a technical capacity for a way that reddit could specifically be crippled through these means? Or am I trying to put apples and oranges together?

If you've read this thank you for your time! I am in no way making any accusations, just hypothesizing on public information.
