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.

which ones would that be again?
