How can you be so sure about this when the cheat detection caught him?
I'm not saying (s)he did indeed hack, all I know from experience is, that I believe anyone who fought about getting unbanned because of being innocent after being caught by the cheat detection, later admitted to indeed have hacked. That's what makes it hard to believe he did not hack, cheat, or did some bigger modifications that resulted in changed gameplay.
