What are you talking about? He doesn't have those ratings and never has.
Players Rated 2500+ But Not Titled (GM, NM etc.)?

He's rating is only 1400
Maybe 400+? Hmm, I also have 400+ everything and I'm not titled...
Whoops...I guess I just read it wrong.
I once had a Correspondence
fIDE rating of more than 2500-- but as it turns out I needed 3 more games
to get a permanent rating and I never played those three games. [actually if you count the prelims to the United
States Correspondence Chess Championship--I had more than the 3 games needed but back then those games were apparently not rated even though they are now..]
Also, weirdly, back in 1973 I had a USCF rating of 2188 and played in
two tournaments which were to be USDCF rated and scored 4 wins and zero losses and zero draws in both tourneys and never became a National Master!
Weird to have such a thing happen to me twice.
I seem to remember Gata Kamsky became a top 10 player without any title, maybe someone can verify?
This person IS titled, with a rating of 3004 on his homepage (<-- I encourage you to click on that link!), but when you look him up as a player to play on live chess, he shows up as a 2243.

2243= his blitz rating
