For those of us who have no idea who this guy is and what he said, what did he do? Did he say something unapproved?

Do you mean Kramnik or Hans Niemann?

Kramnik ((ab)using his status as a former world champion) accused several other top level players to the point that one of them committed suicide.

Niemann allegedly cheated (In my personal opinion as a decently rated but certainly not elite chess player, he probably did cheat in this particular game, though proof was never given and probably never will) at a high level chess tournament and was ostracized by the chess community for a while. He has since rejoined and continues to play at a high level.
