Is this actually a Panda slapping or just a run of the mill affiliate site doing some dodgy stuff getting caught?

Regurgitated content + cloaked affiliate links + 60k pages of thin content. Smells more like he pushed the boat out with a crap site - probably annoyed a few competiting sites and got spam reported a bunch of times. The fact that he dodged a few Panda updates is a red herring.

Manual penalty IMO. Nothing to do with Panda.
