My take - I have no clue whether cheating took place.
I dont think it matters whether cheating took place - with the launch of 3.0, WIS should eliminate the ability to have two teams in a world under different names. The old 1000 mile rule was okay in prior game. It is not adequate in 3.0
They would have to make it functionally impossible, though, and that would include prohibiting multiple players in the same house (which is how I ended up with 2 IDs). That functional prohibition may be good for people's sense of fair play, but it would further hurt WIS's bottom line.
If I'm WIS, I think the best path forward is to require IDs used from the same IP address and/or credit card be linked and public. Have folks report questions of fair play violations. In this instance, it should be pretty easy to see, as long as they archive scouting/recruiting actions for more than just the current season. If the D1 scouted the player to L4, it's pretty damning. According to seble, policy is that beyond the 1000 mile rule, there is a "no-touching" rule, i.e. WIS would consider it a violation to go after a player that you scouted with a different team.
