He doesn't link to the token contract or market, so I call BS. Anyone can mint a token and create a pool for it, setting any price they like. It's not nearly so easy to do this with volume though, and without volume the price is a meaningless non-story.
You're correct, from the original article he links the token website, and the contract address. As you can see there's basically no liquidity at all, as the last transaction was 2 days ago: https://bscscan.com/token/0xcf0a8ef5ae54b15588b337454c71bb4c...
