or it was used for unsportman like behaviour. It could be that he loses on purpose to come in tournaments below its real rating and win.

Sandbagging gets you banned, and how else would you get a rating that low?

I regularly play with a guy in live chess who is ranked in the 300-450 range.

Yeah.  I looked at his games when this was first posted (before he was banned).  He'd play fine and then suddenly resign or give away all his pieces and get checkmated.

Maybe you can get low ratings by simply losing all the time?
