Winbot/Hack or Me I Don't Understand

Hi Everyone,
I don't usually post, but I've played many games; upwards to 25k ladder games. What I do not understand is a GM barcode I played today: Their placement is #51 NA and, according to SC2 Unmasked, their aka is Derkhy. I don't want to drag this person through the mud if it is my misunderstanding so please let this thread be a testament to self education if I'm wrong...but I have never encountered this before.

1) This curiosity started when I looked at match history and I saw only 5 1:1 ladder games (one of which is a loss to me). My experience is you need 30 games minimum played to be GM.

2) So I started looking further and saw a massive amount of games to the same map that had 0.0 minutes of entry (almost 30 of them). See screenshot. His excuse was he plays "arcade" and wants to artificially "remove" his match history - trust me, it was quite a interesting story and Shakespeares "he doth protest too much" could have adequately been used here.

I've also added a screenshot of detail to these games:

3) To compound the issue I also see that the 3 wins he did have were all games from a 5.7k mmr player [Dust]Sinner that left within less than a minute. His excuse was this person was a troll. Honestly, even though it is against Blizzard policy I understand that boosting is a reality and it happens. I'm indifferent about this fact. The problem I have is this looks more like a hack than a boosting situation.

Can someone please confirm if this is a winbot. I've been around long enough to know this happened in BW. Thanks

When you play one in a custom game, when you start the game, the victory is immediately counted, for this it shows 0 seconds. With these games, he just hid what was below

Match history shows only like last last 100 games. 1v1 filter shows games only from those 100 games. Nothing too odd here.

The account's played 40 1v1 ladder games this season--the other games just aren't displaying in the search history since it only shows some number of recent games, and there's all those customs filling up the match history. It's certainly not evidence of a winbot.
