Error for GME float?

Ticker: GME
Shares Outstanding    76.49M
Implied Shares Outstanding    69.38M
Float    248.48M

There appears to be an error with the float number, as it's significantly higher than the shares outstanding and implied shares outstanding.

How is the float determined?  It's the only line item on the statistics page that doesn't have a footnote for a source.

I appreciate your time!

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We’ve corrected GME float and notified our data provider about the error.

How is the float determined?
A company’s float is a measure of the number of shares available for trading by the public. It’s calculated by taking the number of issued and outstanding shares minus any restricted stock, which may not be publicly traded. S&P Dow Jones Indices, including the S&P 500, are weighted according to companies’ float. The Nasdaq Composite still uses shares outstanding as the weight to calculate market capitalization.

    I don't understand how this could be possible

    Investing.com explains the float should never be higher than outstanding shares. How is yahoo finance sourcing this information?

    Perhaps there is illegal naked shorting occurring which has increased the float?

    Lol a random yahoo IT guy is about to declare whether or not the global economy is on the brink of disaster

    This is certainly peculiar. I await the findings eagerly. Cheers.

    Great question. I’d love to know the answer as well!

    I agree some sort of footnote to note what information goes into that number would be helpful?

    Also why does your information read out differently outside of the US do you have different reporting standards you have to apply in different countries?

    Error? Or is that simply the real float has been sold 4 times over?
