He actually published the first GPU miner.
At that time, you got 50 coins per block, and with a GPU you would get a lot of them.
10,000 BTC is simply 200 blocks. In those days with a GPU you would probably be able to get them in a couple of weeks.
Electricity for a 2009-2010 GPU?, not much. It was basically free pizza.
