The math is off!
The price was $0.007792 at launch on August 23rd, so if he had bought at a minimum he would have spent $4674, not $96 on it.
We're still looking at x600 gains but nothing close to 30000x, but common, who buys $5000 of meme coins at their launch before anyone else, the developers themselves lol! 
Yes, that's right, The math is off.
As the news says the price is $0.01 so he must have spent $6,000 to buy 600,000 tokens, but that's usually news sites like to exaggerate to attract attention and get more visits to increase profits.
But anyway it's still very good to get $3.06 million from $6,000 or $4,674.
