I went back and looked again, you shared that screenshot with staff back in early November, so 6+ months ago.  My point still stands, he should have been punished/banned back then if it was a more serious offense, especially a random DM out of nowhere and especially if that's how he acted after you had a discussion with him about it (which I would think if you have screenshots/video of that message, you would have screenshots/video of your discussion after the fact with him too that you could share to show his continued weird behavior that day).

I forgot I put it there, and looking at the lack of a serious response to it just further explains why I didn't feel like pressing it further at the time. He responded in vc, and no I didn't record it, it wasn't a long conversation.

As for the derailing comment, if this was still a pressing matter for you, why didn't you bring it up immediately when his application was posted and discussed? Why not ask other staff and community members if they've seen this behavior recently?  It was dropped on his application out of the blue with no information behind the screenshot, leaving a lot of people thrown off and confused.

You don't see all of the discussion that happens.

Tiefling has shown proven deceptive behavior by snipping screenshots without giving full context

Debunked, actually.
