Have a closer look at both players´ rating histories:
Rating history shows that sataan has resigned in about 75 games vs. nwishn last night - normally he used to loose by time-forfeit without any move (which automatically has no effect on the winner´s rating). So his games vd. nwishn seem to be something special for him.
But these 75 games didn´t change the rating of either player at all, the reason is the rating gap (>700). Five weeks ago the same happened with less games (about 20) and less rating gap, the effect was +40 rating points, not too big in my eyes.
If your assumption is right, I want to add that
- this is not the only case in net-chess where users manipulate their rating,
- there are more intelligent ways to do that than this one (but I won´t go into details, people should find out themselves),
- in one of the other cases the user got bored at some points and apparently left net-chess,
- it seems to be accepted here (at least I have this feeling),
- rating manipulation is a reason to kick users off in other CC sites.
The influence on the own ego seems to be big enough to go through that effort, the influence on other players is minor: They just play a 2200-opponent whose real rating is 1900 (example), so they gain more rating points (win) or lose less (loss).
No big deal in my eyes, if you accept the unsportsmanship behind such action.
