LadyC: as to your final question, no, I don't believe there is anything wrong with displaying gem counts in friends' parks. 'tested' two of my friends: both are correct (my own park) or quite a bit less than what you describe.

Nogard has always had this (ridiculous) number of gems; he's got his own page on the Wiki where you can verify this. Your friend with the 48k gems has hacked the game.

The others may be explained by the fact that we've just had a two month event. Not only did I spend hardly any gems during the event (I did buy rings though...), I earned a lot more gems per day than usual. Not only from the occasional daily gem gifts we all got, but especially from the daily little in-game games (spin-the-wheel and drop-the-ball) we could play. If I had to guess at a number I would say that I ended up with anywhere between 1,500 and 2,000 more gems after the event than I started with. There hasn't been much reason to spend a ridiculous number of gems yet since the event ended...
