If he has root-level control of the systems, why doesn't he install the needed drivers himself? Somebody already asked him this question on reddit, but he didn't answer. Does anyone have any idea why he wouldn't/couldn't/shouldn't install drivers himself?

Also, why not mine litecoins (cpu's are good at doing that, so no drivers needed and he can mine bitcoins at the same time) and sell them for bitcoins? They are worth enough that his profits would go up noticeably much.
