From my point of view (please correct me if I'm wrong):

• He is a spammer.
• He plays a victim.
• He is known for abusing user registration creating hundreds of sock-puppet accounts (basically stealing funds meant for registering new users)
• Above includes name squatting, such as well known names similar to exchanges (does it ring any bells?), usurping many other well known IDs.

I have never flagged him or anyone else, I would not respond to such drama at all, but making him a hero, a martyr or sending him flowers is just wrong.

TL;DR: IMHO: He acts against Steem as a platform.

(there's always some way to fix things, but his future is in his hands)
