You and me both. The most I can think of is Virustotal might be using scanners that let the scanner's maker take a look at anything that triggers an alarm - which would be rather counter-productive for a malware writer - while this guy probably used strictly offline scanners. Still nowhere near law-breaching IMHO, but it's all I got...
