The individuals all chose to let that guy lead them and they all benefited from the cheating for several rounds. It was known in LaF that shady stuff was going on (as SG admitted) but they turned a blind eye, rather than figuring out what was going on.
hanlong cheated so LaF can benefit. If the cheating proves beneficial, it tells cheaters that is worthwhile to do. Right now LaF has had to give up half a round because they cheated. SoF randomly targets netters and takes more than half a round from them for no reason at all. LaF has suffered less penalty for having cheated for several rounds than a random alliance who SoF gets bored and targets. LaF has effectively suffered no penalties yet has tons and tons of ill-gotten gains.
Honestly I can't help but think that SoF would have taken a stand against it, but is more worried about some silly political position than the ethics of the game.
