The first screenshot is not mine. I took it from someone's post on FB but it's in all probability true. There's another player with 22K power as well.

The second screenshot is taken from the leaderboard in my game. This guy's weapon power alone is more than 7K.

The easiest explanation would be - just dump money. There is no limit on how much you can spend and how far you can go. Even so, getting to 22K (with none of your equipped items being event gear) would require hundreds and thousands of gems to be spent on opening booster packs. That'll cost quite a fortune, unless these people are professional hackers exploiting Tapjoy offers or credit card hax.

Even for the 17K dude, he must have had at least 15-16K power before. That much is achievable by spending money and repeatedly resetting store till you get the items you want. Even so, it's not cheap either and completely unthinkable for free-to-play users. The max I've seen them go so far is late 9.9K to starting 10Ks.
