Scam in Codedrift Contests(by Scaler)

Recently, I have noticed some supernatural performances by some programmers in the Codedrift contests conducted by Scaler Edge. Codedrift is a series of very nice competitive programming contests conducted topic-wise, which also contains good cash prizes. Some of these contests are day-long, and each question's timer starts only when you open the question. Also, the questions are the same for every participant, and one can also use copy-paste on their ide. So, one can easily write a code beforehand(using some alternate account), copy it on the ide, and submit it in no time. I don't think any of these submissions can be explained by anything other than this.

Scaler edge is a well-known and respectable platform. Their tutors and mentors are well-known programmers. We do not expect such a nuisance to happen on such a big platform. This isn't very pleasant, and I really hope I would find any person-in-charge of Codedrift on Codeforces, and he would take appropriate steps to avoid such scams in the future.
