A few months later, the owner shows up, says he is sorry that he had some issues, and pays them. So they talk about it on the phone, and start promoting again. about a year later, they guy does it again with another sizable payout.
My friend NEVER told anyone else. That is the kind of info that should be shared. he was afraid that if he did decide to promote the guy again, the conversions would not be as good if he let others know.

People are hesitant to share because they just get roasted on places like GFY. Even when the person has absolute proof, the sponsor(and friends) in question do anything they can to lower the credibility of the poster, or make threats to intimidate the poster. Not to mention the rest of the posters always saying, 'Have you contacted them?' and on and on.
I am not so sure it matters at all anymore, your friend might have the right idea(minus the part about reusing the sponsor).
I have contacted numerous sponsors about things that impact them, and their affiliates. Initially, the first contact is a bugger as you initially have to go through some sort of affiliate manager, where the ball is dropped(assuming the contact was made in the first place).
Some of the top sponsors on GFY have been outed for several things over the years, yet they appear to be able to keep affiliates.
Then you don't even have to be talking to/about someone to set off one of the mascots here and have them run a campaign of baseless, totally false accusations(whether to defend their friends, or a simple misunderstanding). Even though it is just a 'message board', some folks might take it to heart if they don't take time to consider the source.
