Why so many cheaters in tournaments?

Sort:

Did a few rapid and biltz arenas, was really fun, but then I took a closer look at the leaderboards, and it's ridiculously infested with cheaters. 13/13 or 15/15 and accuracy with north of 98% in every match. Acounts pretty new, and usually with massive ELO gain. Reported a couple, they got banned, so that confirms my suspicion. One did not get banned.. And it was most ridiculous, boosting his rank with sock accounts, like checkmates in 5 movies. Was it a bot? 

What's going on? Why are they not being banned? Why are they not being detected? They stand out so much. I thought chess.com invested heavily into anti-cheating?
