It's very easy to make large sums of gil via crafting or spiritbonding. I've made almost 4 mil from a single spiritbonding session (5 sets of gear) in less than 2 hours and that's only one example.

It's never clear where people get their gil, even if they don't have crafts leveled they can still spiritbond or if they're lucky enough have friends pay for their clear. Sure you can speculate but there is no way you can prove it.
