Just read the entire 2+2 thread and must say it's very unlikely this user was playing fairly. In fact, I would say this is more concerning than the AP scandal because his play does not stick out like a sore thumb. There are no T high hero calls and his river aggression is not infinity.
The damning evidence is purely statistical and practical... many good, or even great, HSNL players have come out saying that a winrate of 60PTBB/100 is simply unatainable even over as short a sample set as 3k hands. He's not winning huge sums of money on All-ins (where if you were 'running hot' you would expect huge profits w/ very small edges).

Looking at the graph, obviously his results are an outlier to the nth degree and coupled with the fact that he completely disappeared after Sept 4 when the AP scandal broke out is practical evidence.
We're all tired of conspiracy theories, constant dumbfuck n00b posts saying "omg.. is this a superuser?" where someone makes a standard play, but the idea of chalking everything up to 'variance' is a mistake and we've all too recently been reminded of that fact.
I constantly see posts "who cares... why do people still play on ub/ab anyways?" The answer is elusive, but if you've studied the pyschology of a gambler it's a common practice.
