Self choosen rating?

A player wanted some games with opponents rated below 500. I use the "find player" button just to check how many players were at this level. I read that IronMan31 had 500 points on the tables. But on his personal profile, he has 2486 points...
Does that mean that high-ranking people can choose their own rating, even 500 points?
Could somebody give me a logical answer please?
Thank you.

Thank you for the closets, but mine are clean...
And please note that I wasn't aware of such punishments... But it's a good thing.
