is it possible for someone to go from iron 3 to gold 2 in less than one act?

yesterday we were 3 stacking with my friends. we're all plat so when we saw on the loading screen that 2 of the enemies were bronze last act and one was iron, we were already kinda sus of something cause this was a gold/plat lobby. i think one was silver and the last one didnt have his previous rank shown, so we thought it was a five stack with one diamond/ascendant whos carrying his low elo friends. that was until the player who was iron last act got 4k after 4k every single round. then the bronze player. then the other bronze player. all meanwhile the guy we thought would be high elo was sitting somewhere around 2/9. at this point it was kinda obvious that they were cheating, but then i had an idea: what if its a group of 5 friends who decided to switch accounts for a game? that seemed to be the only rational explanation but my two friends said im overthinking and its probably not that. after the game i checked the "iron" players stats, the game said hes gold 2 but his tracker.gg is private (like he wasnt sus enough). my guy got like 32 kills and an obvious match mvp in a plat lobby, as a gold 2 who was iron last act. regardless, i reported the guy and kinda forgot about it, but i thought id ask if its possible that it was legit. that would be a SEVEN rank difference in less than one act. and it wasnt just one guy, 3 out of 5 people on that team did the same thing. any thoughts?
