Weird rating calculation

I played a blitz game against the user Yeknafar today. Here is the game:


The game log says that Yeknafar, who was rated 2463 before the game, lost 8 rating points after the game.
Right after our game, Yeknafar goes on to play another blitz game, which may be viewed here:


His rating in this game is 2460. Last time I checked 2463 - 8 = 2455. Where did the 5 rating points go?
Possibly these 5 rating points were added,if the user has been given rating refund due to losing to a cheater.
Could be, but it sounds highly unlikely as the next game was started without any wait after our game and the rating was already 2460.
I included the links as proofs to the mentioned rating changes. The games are included automatically by the server.
Not sure why you're concentrating on that non-issue.
