For sure, he will have identified to the WMF at some point though.

Where is the boyfriend when he is needed? Come on Drmies. Bbb23 has bailed you out so many times in virtually identical situations, now it's your turn.......step up!@Bbb23: you must not close a thread when it is discussing your block. See WP:INVOLVED. Qualitist (talk) 19:00, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
Drmies must be kicking himself that he was unable to get reelected. How dare they speak ill of his boyfriend, he would have shut that down in a heartbeat. Tough luck Drmies, this is what happens when you let power go to your head, you lose the opportunity to use it when it really counts.During the discussion at ANI about GiantSnowman's use of the mass rollback tool, Bbb23 (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) marked the discussion as closed. While closing, Bbb23 said: GS's response is satisfactory. There is no reason that he cannot use mass rollback for socking and vandalism. No administrative action is going to be taken here.
Bbb23 asserted that concerns had been addressed and further discussion would be unfruitful. Concerns about GiantSnowman's use of the tool were unresolved at that point and Bbb23's closure was premature, given the circumstances at the time.
.....which leads us to the question, what are they going to do about it? Well, sadly, not a lot it seems.......Proposed. Taking actions with good intentions can nevertheless lead to consequences that were difficult to foresee. Several respected members of the community were challenging GiantSnowman's actions prior to the ANI thread closing. If their challenges were allowed to be heard, I think this matter may not have reached arbitration. And if it did, less conflict would probably have been generated along the way. I think it is important that we recognise when we, as a community, could have better handled a problem. AGK ■ 19:01, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
This thread on this here website of course has countless examples of Bbb23 exercising his Administrative power to shut down reports before the community has had a chance to review it, several of which seem to always relate to the same Administrator, the rest being within the broad class of Administrators who clearly have little regard for the principle that they are not cops whose rulings cannot be questioned, but janitors, whose every move must be available for scrutiny, to those they nominally serve, if not to outsiders like us.absent other examples of Bbb23 smothering legitimate concerns about GS or any other admin, I'm not sure we can take this any further.
