We've had cases in the past were a general manager would pretend to be two different people so they could control multiple teams. We also had a general manager in the past steal passwords and make trades to himself.
We've recently had upgraded the site to track I.P. addresses to help identify that. Is there anything else we could do to help stop fraud?

Well I was wondering why the IP address field shows in the GM list. I didn't know there was actual situations where this occurred (even though some days, I have suspicions). I don't think there is really too much that can be done. The IP address is a good idea, but it is not a guarantee that it fixes the problem. I guess just keeping an eye on transactions between teams and flagging anything that is "strange or suspicious" is the only way we can prevent this.

I think GM fraud is rare (maybe I'm naive.)
When you're not playing for real cash or reward then there's little reason to try and scam this game.
I think the issues are isolated and the GMs police themselves pretty good and catch suspicious behavior pretty fast.

I have been in a few leagues where GM's ran a few different teams. Why? Not sure, when it's just for fun and to win. But, with no money on the line, really doesn't make sense.
