It most definitely is being used for cheating (all current EAC-bypass tools use this driver), the question is if the guy did it in purpose to cheat himself or not. It's debatable to say that he needs a driver to look for cheats, especially when you consider the kind of "cheat detection" going on here, but it's not completely out of question to do it either.

The product need not depend on this exploit. There are common best-practices one may use to secure access to driver calls. He's implemented like 1 of them. I think he's just an asshat who doesn't like being called into question, but there's a very real possibility that he took advantage of his whitelisted driver and is now mad he lost that advantage. I genuinely believe he's not the one DDoSing though, that's more of a cheating forum thing.
