They caught him because he bragged about winning on another online forum, when everyone knew the person who won was not his normal screen name. He then made up a story about it being his grandmother's account, and how he took over for her after he busted out.
And yes, sometimes he would end up at the same table as one of his other accounts. He would then open up other SnGs, to "negate his advantage". Basically saying that by distracting himself more, he wasn't benefitting from being two players at the same table.
It's cheating even if he didn't ever end up at the same table as one of his other accounts. They're freezeout tournies - you buy in and play, and when you bust out, you go home. You don't get to buy in three entries at a time and then play the others when you bust out of one.

Whether he likes it or not, a man’s character is stripped at the poker table; if the other players read him better than he does, he has only himself to blame. Unless he is both able and prepared to see himself as others do, flaws and all, he will be a loser in cards, as in life. ~Anthony Holden
