No, the entire short process is designed to prevent that, you also can’t short to anyone you are related to or know or have ever known or may know. Nice try though.
To protect the bank, they also make sure you list on the mls and they get all offers from the public and have an independant realtor estimate the value to ensure they aren’t getting screwed. Even then, they don’t always approve the short, one of the factors is the seller being able to prove they can’t afford it any longer, they will want more docs than a full doc loan.
