You've got his IP, right? So email his ISP with a list of his offenses and see if they are willing to do something - especially bring up the spamming and hacking. Many ISPs do not like that at all.
But, seriously, I used the whole "moderated usergroup" thing for a long time - two years. I just wrote in the welcome message that the first several posts were moderated to prevent spam. People understand this. You can promote them automatically after a week (or whatever) or after so many approved posts.
The last 20 odd accounts are through proxies. Or other people's computers. Or some school/public institution computers. They always have different IPs, and are not the same each time. The things that tie them together are the spamming/arrogant behaviour and own admittance he's the same person.
But I guess I'll have to try the moderated usergroup thing,
