Need advice: static imploding because of cheater.

This is a lot of assuming, suspecting and feeling. And no actual trying.
If you have this little faith in the people you recruited and are this unwilling to communicate, you're not fit to be their static leader.

I would have more faith and trust if this community wasn't full of cheaters, and as the WFR proved, ffxiv raiding is beyond saving

Then you cant be a good group leader. There isnt much else to it.

This attitude is the reason you're definitely not fit to be a static leader.
You don't just assume the worst of everyone, you're also blaming the world around for it and scrape together excuses that are solely based on assumptions and suspicions when you don't get the pat on the back for a good job.

You should've set rules before and make sure you're perfectly transparent on them. Especially if you intend to enforce zero-tolerance policies without communicating them. You should've communicated with everyone even if your decision was already final. You should've made sure to minimize the negative impact it has on others by finding replacements in time.
And lastly, a good static leader doesn't put their own opinion above everyone else's.
You handed it terribly on several levels and the consequences are well-deserved.

This is all that needs to be said, in my opinion.

Its good that you know now, so you have two options:

A. Make sure only like-minded people like you are in your static, and start stalking their streaming sites to make sure they're well-abiding eorzeans (paranoia).

B. Stop participating in TOP because the community cant be trusted.

Your choice.
