It's not plagiarism to copy a short passage for a review, and this could've been considered a review.
If the source had been given, yes, it could have been considered a legitimate review. But he submitted the published work of an author he had no legal rights to and here's the kicker; by not identifying the work as the work of another author, committed fraud.
Now that he has a name and a paper trail to follow, his chances of a happy career in writing is limited. It will be brought up to haunt him again and again.
I wonder if Vic will send him a letter now?
