This is poker, so that just makes him a maverick, not a cheater. Everyone knows that rules are for losers anyway. FREEDOM!
I'm afraid you hit the nail on the head, friend. I guess what we have here is just another online tough guy saying to hell with the rules. People who aren't very bright or want to live through him will hail his success. Hopefully, that is a minority, but I have my doubts.
This also raises the question of the long term strength of online poker. How long can people pretend there isn't a myriad of problems with the beast? At what point will so few people be playing as to make the sites unprofitable for the owners? No site can survive if all that's playing is bots and cheats.
