I think they should be given to the people who came second in the ones he won.

How about a high-rated banded tourney? Who's to say that the opponent IM faced in the 1st round wouldn't have gone on to win?
Ratings adjustment is even worse, as you say. I like this idea of putting cheater's ratings at 500 and resgning all games at once.
