Cheats/Hackers in Contest of Mayors

The pattern seems to dictate that most are from Russia. It is the same in my league too. Some are from Asia as well. Astonishing how fast they reach these high scores in approximately 3 days when the contest opens. Virtually impossible unless they are using a ton of Sim Cash to do this, but I think it would take more than what you would win. So why would one do this anyway? Cheating seems to be the obvious answer.
