At first I thought it had to be a mistake in pricing.
But no, all of his items are just as nutty:

I can't find any completed auctions.
Can't find any auctions other that a "private" notation for previous auctions via his feedback, either.
Can't find anything about him via Google.

If you've cracked a $10 million price for a piece of art, someone on the internet's gonna notice, imo.
