The problem is that the cloners and cash sellers each have like hundres of accounts, so suspending them becomes pointless when they just pop back up in no time. Let's face it, in many ways the cloners basically run the game now. I'm sure Applibot is trying actively to shut down the cloners and cash sellers, since they are basically siphoning away their profits. But it's very likely that they can't because they simply don't know the exploits which they are using.

If they are going to fix this, they are going to have to completely overhaul the app and the system itself, because at this point I'd say the game is close to broken.

Since they likely don't have the time or patience to do that, I'd say the short term solution would be to figure out how the cloners are doing it, and to simply inform Applibot of their methods. Now would be a pretty good time for someone with some technical expertise to help in this regard, since it's unlikely any of the cloners will spill the beans, unless one of them is feeling supremely confident that Applibot wouldn't do anything regardless, or is just plain nuts.
