I wouldn't be surprised if all his kills are macros - theres A LOT of macros in EVE. Would be interesting to know how he does it.

And this is knowing that this account might be banned anytime for EULA violation?
Macros don't get banned that often as it is very hard to prove they are macroing.

I think the guy figured out a hole in the macro program, then figured out how to beat it. What he said seems very doable. Simply catch them when they log back in. It's likely easy to figure out what belt they were in due to the wrecks and set up the trap to catch them.
You have obviously never tried to catch macros. Most macros these days don't logoff but rather go to a safespot and cloak when a hostile comes in local. When you leave they wait an amount of time (that can be set on the bot so varies) and then can be set to return to a random belt.
You don't know when they are going to return to ratting and you don't know which belt.
How do you catch them with logoffskies then genius?
I don't think you can.
The bot I am referring to has over 2000 registered users and it has ALL these features (they also detect deployable bubbles).

Evidently you need to have an unstable Estonian internet connection that lets you hide in local.
As for your very interesting research and sales pitch for botting software, you are aware that these options that you talk about may be buggy? you cant wildly claim exploits without evidence, killmails are not evidence. i.e: Monkeysphere is a monkey, some monkeys are crack addicts; therefor Monkeyshere is a crack addict.
With 2000 people using them I think the developers would find bugs, it's possible there are bugs but I highly doubt it. Didn't mean to make it a sales pitch, I don't like macros at all, partly because whatever I try I can never kill them.

So if what he does is not considered an exploit by CCP would anyone mind posting exactly it is what he does or link to a page in English (if at all possible)?
He won't say. I guess it's a valuable secret.

Did you bother to look at the KM's? I sure as hell didn't see many cloaks fitted on the ships he's killing. There was one Golem on the first page of his kill stats but the t3's and most of the other didn't have cloaks fitted.
You are correct they don't seem to but most macros I have seen do use cloaks and don't log off. He kills ones with cloaks too so it still can't be some login trap.

If any devs or GMs involved in the investigation are interested in a detailed explanation on how to do the logon trap right just give me a shout and I'll cooperate fully.
Go test your logon trap, it won't work, I doubt you will catch a single macro and certainly not consecutive kills in a small amount of time. I have tried to catch macros with logoffskies with 2 accounts. Guess nobody told you that they usually safe up for about 20mins+ (and the time they stay safed changes every time so you can't time it perfectly) and don't go back to the same belt or the top belt.
