Suspicion of cheating

If you examine the games of the player whose username is [removed], you can see that there is doubt in his time usage and his continuous rise. Almost no blitz match has any moves lasting longer than 10 seconds. His bullet score is quite low and it is clear that he lost some of the matches on purpose. I've been reviewing this player's matches for a long time and I'm having trouble understanding why he hasn't been banned. I also played 11 bullet matches to test this player and won 10 of them. My blitz score is about 400 points lower than his. Also, if you examine the openings he made, you can see that there is something interesting. If this player was on another platform, he could definitely be banned even for time usage.

You can find my bullet games with this player here. Does anyone believe that a player with around 2800 blitz points can play bullet this badly?

I opened this forum because I could not get any results despite reporting this player for 1 month.

I'm curious about your thoughts on this subject.

Yeah. One player ([removed -- MS]) in yesterday's 30 sec hyper bullet arena tournament at 7:45 pm (IST) seemed (as accuracy is not 100%) to be cheating as all of this person's moves looked automatically played. Some of the players in the tournament complained during the tournament and I also reported this player. But as they handle many cheating reports, I can maintain patience. Hope chess.com will check this too.

Cheaters nowadays seems to be smarter as they purposely lose some games and somehow manage to reduce the game accuracy (I don't know how they do it if they play engine moves) just as you said. But I can't fathom why cheaters do this ? Maybe just to look cool after increasing rating by being slave to the engine moves and not thinking by themselves at all. What is the use of playing chess then if they don't use their own brain..
