^^^ This is the high-level three true outcomes version

Resolution

Somewhat subjective but I'll try to poll experts, use ai/LLMs/etc to get a single fair main outcome.

Explanations

• Cheat physical device: specific data on a real device like ear audio implant, magnetic implant, etc is found and he is also banned. Must be at least semipermanent, and be implanted inside his body.

• Cheat non-implant is a thing that communicates by vibrations in his shoe, pocket, hair etc. Or deep hearing aide with onboard battery. The difference is it can be personally removed.

• Cheat helper: someone or something was giving him info visually or his sound over the air in the playing hall for example a small light+polarized contact lenses, or a rhythmic cough plus exact clock for interpretation etc.

As of now, 12/2023, I'd say he is "Still playing - widely suspected of cheating"

Note: for the first few days will adjust options per bettor feedback
