This article cherry-picks the time window to make such a claim. You can do this for many volatile stocks.

GME looks like it was probably pumped and dumped (intentionally or not), but it is up 107% month on month currently. So the report could easily be “investors double their money”. It’s meaningless.

The article also doesn't mention the actual reasons people invest into GME. It’s a meme stock. People also claim to buy it in protest of aggressive short-selling by large funds that ruins small businesses. I don’t know if anyone really expects to make money on it beyond the potential pump and dump ride-along.

The link is very biased and sensationalist. What’s going on with GME is quite interesting, in contrast.
