Toby, you have been around, just like me, and think of the things you know, that have never made there way to the boards. The inside story. I think in this case, because all the sides will have their day and have their say in court, we will hear more first hand info than we usually do.

Some big players may have been paid under such an arrangement, behind the scenes, to keep things quiet, but there has been no efforts made to pay the rank and file affiliates. You know as well as I do that such information would never stay completely off the boards, and as an XclusiveCash affiliate I would have received notice of such an arrangement.
I'm not so sure we'll ever know the full story, but in this case it isn't necessary. I'll steal a quote from a discussion on this same topic on another board.
"
It's so cut and dry, did the program owner get paid for joins, yes, did the program owners pay affiliates for the joins, no, end of fucking story."
That quote pretty much sums up my feelings on the topic.
