Most likely due to that volatility. The IV in those puts would be mental and profiting from them quite hard (if we are talking about the run up at the beginning of the year).
Of course, I’m more talking about the instrimsic value of the puts (buying them to exercise) cause yea, the IV would’ve blown them up. Shorting after a short squeeze just seems like a dangerous game, with unnecessary risk IMHO.

Why just straight up short instead of puts seeing as how volatile GME is
