For numbers, r/wsb had around 2.3m yesterday morning (Wednesday 3 am) and now has 4.3m members, so that's a jump of 2 million new in less than a day.

A big chunk of that are simply bot accounts. There has been a surge of new accounts spamming the sub and trying to manipulate people into selling.

This is very much not suspicious or illegal, and not being reported anywhere
