Seems to me, if they can put together a game as advanced as this one is, they should be able to stop them. But I've never claimed to know anything about programming so I don't know what can or can't be done. But from what I've seen on the net, if these hackers can unlock the entire game, making them clear the save won't help. They can just hack it again and be right back in business an hour later with nothing lost. My theory is that FM knows the hackers are a relatively small percentage of users, and they 'use' them to encourage the honest players to try harder, not realising they will never be able to beat them. That could cause players to fully upgrade cars, buy gold, etc. So basically, I think they just allow it, for the most part.
