Maybe not one of the hackers but he did try to use the BTC-e price fluke to milk bitcoin out of people that believed him. That is how he honestly earned the scammer title. While I do think it is possible that he also somehow knew of the hackers I don't have any proof of that. 
You also don't have any proof that he wasn't one of the hackers. The hackers may have believed that their actions would destroy Bitcoin and destroy it within the week. But as with many battles, the outcome doesn't always turn out quite as one side envisages it will, regardless of how confident they are.
However, the very fact that he is on here trying to squeeze Bitcoin out of users on this forum, suggests that he was merely someone who heard rumours of what was in pipelines for Bitcoin. If this wasn't the case and he just 'fluked' it, then he may want to try playing the lottery as he clearly has the luck of the devil with him.
