ADS-B from FlightAware also shows a ground speed of just about 250mph, which means they also broke the speed limit.
If they are reported what does the FSDO do? How much trouble is the PIC in? Yes we have the N number.
That's going to be up to the FSDO on what they interpret from data, reports, etc. But just from what you have, he/she is looking at multiple violations. Below 1K over congested, 200+ below Bravo, plus PIC operating in a reckless manner...unless that guy/gal had an emergency going on, I'd say they're looking at definite certificate action.
