Maybe he cheated and was caught and was banished to cheater Penitentiary where he was metamorphasized into to a new person with a new name and a new avatar and he returned to c.c never to cheat again so long as he playethed.
So, did that turn out that what's his name wasn't cheating after all?

Playethed?
I still think his reluctance to comply with the searches was a very strong sign he was cheating. I don't think an innocent person would have reacted that way.
Thoughts like this IE "I know how every innocent person should act", are one of the primary reasons jury trials are such a joke.
FWIW, I'm 99.999% sure this guy cheated, but the idea that there's some single way an innocent person should act is false.
They're bluffing. They would've publicly shown his "device". There was no device and they are angry that they cannot show empirical evidence of his cheating.

Account closed. Hmmmmmmmm.

Interesting.

Perhaps he was wearing women's underwear and was embarrassed.
They would find it.
It happens all the time.
Happened to me.
