So I saw this happening like yesterday, so I thought I would bring it up:
Yesterday I was at the water park, and saw some players following a certain girl. Why? I did not know then. I saw her waving with one of these fans, and players went all "I can't afford one, can you buy one for me?", and so she answers "I use to buy players stuff because I'm an admin and gets stuff for free". She did buy that person, and maybe even more, fans. It was probably on her iOS account she bought it on and gave it away, but still she had 32k which she probably gave herself from her administration account.
A picture of her saying "Come I buy you a fan" is unfortunately all I got to prove that this happened.
