Quote from Will Cockerell's blog:

"The final quarter-final was a dreadfully unpleasant affair as Shino did not attend to clock issues in the first set, and complained bitterly when his clock ran down. His opponent Christian Plenz had been fully aware of Shino’s time trouble long before his clock ran down. Shino stated the clocks had mechanical defects and weren’t stopping after he played his move, but close inspection of his clock by others ensured it was fine. All that was necessary to stop your clock was a light caress of the button, not the hard bashes Shino was giving them. He then went on to destroy three clocks in his anger, including hurling one to the floor and smashing it (adding another €90 to WSOB’s bill!). A shell-shocked Plenz, the innocent victim in all this, and one of the most gracious men on the circuit, limped through the next two sets in a daze and crashed out of the tournament."

I think there should be a limit to what you can get away with before you get disqualified from a tournament, and in this case Mr Shino was, in my opinion, way past that limit.
