Matt Cutts isn't the public face for the webspam team anymore, for months if not years now. I think since 2014.
He even left google and works for the US Digital Service since this summer.
And on the topic:
Nope, no penalty. At least no ordinary / known version of typical penalization.
- paganel 10y agoJust found out right now that the "famous" Googleguy user that was posting stuff on Websmasterworld around 2002-2004 has been confirmed as having been Matt Cutts (the article is a little older, from 2011, https://www.seroundtable.com/cutts-googleguy-intheplex-13291.html https://www.seroundtable.com/cutts-googleguy-intheplex-13291...). Those were interesting times, when Google was still playing the "good guy" card trying to get most of the websites' data. I'm pretty sure nothing of that facade has remained in place now.
