Someone actually made a post similar to this yesterday, with more drastic implementation. He said that multiple level 10 gyms had been taken down in his city and they were all clearly spoofers (UK I think). When I got home from work yesterday all top tier gyms in my city that were definitely held by spoofers have been taken down. I don’t know what’s going on, but there is clearly a crackdown on false accounts going on and I am so relieved. I was actually able to hold the gym next to my house for more than an hour this morning.
Player banned?
Yesterday, i was surprised to find a gym at level 10 with 50kxp and 9 defenders. This gym used to be stable at level 10 blue for half a year, only with some shaving and replacing.
It left it for 10 Minutes, to be sure not to take someones places, then i put a defender.
Now i am curious how this situation could arise. My only explaination is, that a player wit a defender in this gym was banned and its defender was taken out.
I am curious to read your thoughts.

I just trained up a gym, put in a mon...and then continued to train it up so that another 2 slots were free.
If someone finds it then they get a free spot, but if not, then the gym is stronger and will take longer to drop it down, than if I had just left it after placing my defender. Perhaps someone did the same thing.
...but I hope it is that they are cracking down on spoofers multi-accounters.
