Many reasons:

All the 19+ 'reviewers' have reviewed all of his 9 apps, giving 5 stars each time.

If you look at the reviews across the apps, phrases are repeated.

I downloaded iOthello - it's terrible - nobody would give this 5 stars. The other apps look just as bad.

One of the reviews stated it was 'the best reversi game around' - only it was a review for one of his other apps.. I think he typed in so many he confused himself.

Not content with fooling the masses with iOthello, he released it as 'Reversi Extended' too, which is exactly the same game, just with a different name and icon.

I could go on..
