I had an email from a mainstream website owner asking me to remove his link from my site which he purchased just under a year ago because he said it has made his site go way down in the google ranks. He said he was removing all links to his site now. Is this something new thats happening ?

No. Some webmasters get links to their site and nothing else. Then , when they get punished for infrequent updates, stale content, high bouce rate.. all they can think of is: "It has to be the backlinks, that's all I did."
Go ahead and let those people fail. More money for the rest of us.

We get so many emails from people wanting us to contact our clients and make them remove links, it is not even funny.
What is funny is that crappy links have always been just that, crappy links. Why did you get them in the first place?Comment

Is Penguin a Penalty?
No, neither Penguin nor Panda are manual penalties, Cutts said. He explained that Penguin was designed to tackle ?the stuff in the middle;? between fantastic, high quality content and spam. Panda was all about spam, but the need for Penguin arose from this middle ground.
?It does demote web results, but it?s an algorithmic change, not a penalty. It?s yet another signal among over 200 signals we look at,? he said.

In the big picture google created their own monster -- the quantity of links denoted the value of the site. This was fine while the backlinks were voluntary links of relevance and editorial approval.
Then people bought links to game the SERPS and the search engines' algorithms that determined the SERPs. You do reap what you sow it seems.Comment

So this would be a very good way to take sites out of top google rankings which you dont like
