2. Owner detects traffic source
3. Owner enjoys traffic
4. Fellow webmasters drags about it on a board
5. Affiliate account is deactivated
6. Affiliate GETS FULL PAYMENT
7. Owners says on board account is cancelled
8. Go to 1, rinse an repreat, claim you got a very nasty bad bad affiliate always signing up again or claim it's someone different every time, buying adspace for his affiliate account.

Proof ? None, but do you need a proof that the grass is green and money talks ?
