Thinkabit use chess engine?

Right now it shows that thinkabit use chess engine :O I'm a bit surprised, he was the lichess king and now it is all false? Dont really know what to say guys, i wanna see what u think guys :/.
Im really surprised, like wtf, he even has a stream showing some games of him

And by the way, i would like to know how u detect that someone is using chess engine, cause thinkabit has been playing alot of months here that means alot of time to detect it. I would understand if the u guys developments dont wanna tell it cause it would make easier for cheaters to avoid u. Well in summary, what do u think guys?

Ps: sorry for this bad english jaja
As a person that's been on the top of a lot of lists, getting a lot of attention, having streamed and played against the top players here and all that, I find it highly unlikely that he/she's been cheating without getting caught.

Obviously, there are scenarios in which he could do it without leaving a trace/not being punished, but those are rather forming a cycle of somewhat sci-fi conspiracy theories that I doubt are as productive as to be worth getting into deeply or at all. The simple possibility of something like this being attainable would leave the "normal" user out of the equation almost irreversible motion.

I suggest you focus on your game, your current level/ELO, your chess capabilities, and on improving yourself. Cheater or not, thinkabit has NO influence on you whatsoever. So, why waste your time instead of doing something productive? Why does it matter if he cheats or not? Is it his high score that's bothering you?

A bit harsh, talking about top players interests certain persons. It can be just as entertaining as chess or anything, and a lot more fun than 'focussing on your current elo-rating' !
Wow, the account is closed. Damn it! I wish I could have saved all his games first, whatever the case may be there were so many fascinating matches I observed from time to time. Is that what the "export games" feature on profiles does? You can save the full history of all games played by a player? The whole thing seems pretty unbelievable, if he did cheat was it some isolated incidents or the majority of games, I don't understand how someone could be doing that in bullet games. Wow, what a let down.
Uuuuuuu so rude jajaja, is just that i loved to see thinkabit games, how neither Presa or Blitzstream or whoever who has high rating couldnt beat him, i was like a fan, and now see that he was cheating is shocking for me

About doing something productive dont really know how to answer cause i dont understand it, make other thing that write a topic that takes me 1 or 2 minutes to write it? xd

And the thing of improving my rating/elo, i just play for fun i dont really care of elo xd
Of course he was cheating. Was using a lichess bot programmed for aggressive play. Nobody that good on their own would be playing on here. That also explains the losses that are so obvious his bot didn't connect or went off during game. If you like chess and like to mess with bot code, thinkabit is the result.
And your proof is where, Akseb? Or is this like an official statement from someone who was capable of knowing?
Proof? Really.. if you can't see it yourself you're just plain stupid. Sometimes you don't need "proof" to know something. Prove the existence of different colors to someone who has always been blind. You can't, so does that mean colors must not exist?
to akseb:
I don't care about your opinion but your expression is rude. To say that someone is "plain stupid" because he wants to know if your douptful statement is profably, is undue
