What if I said during my deal with "Paulie" from this email address back in early June I sent to the exact same paypal as the one the scammer had everyone send to? Would that not cause concern and possibly link this to not a hack?

Well that is interesting, but not definitive either way.

Could mean he's in on it and doing an exit scam.

But also possible is that he had the same password on his PP account as email.  Scammer could easily accept payments to the original PP account and then simply forward them on to another account for withdrawal.

And BTW...

You can have more than one email attached to a single PP account.  Keep that in mind.  You could accept payments from [email protected] and [email protected] and have them end up in the same PP account. Just FYI.

So how many people did he scam with this?  Add me to the list.  I'll be calling PP later today to track down the account holder.

I asked PP this question in the AM.  Was informed they have checks and balances when money is requested to be sent to an new bank account, especially when the name on the new account is different.

That is not what I'm saying.  I'm saying, hacker compromises Paulie's account.  Accepts payments via Paulie's account.

Then creates a new PP payment from Paulie's account to PP account that scammer already has set up.  Scammer can then withdraw from his own PP account.

PP would know if that's what happened here.  Not sure if they would tell you what they know on that, however.
