And $50 times a lot of affiliates adds up. SpookyCash is not the biggest program on the block, but, if my checks were not cut by Epoch and CCBill, and I decided to raise the minimum payout to $250, I'd be keeping a lot of people's dough to the point where it would really add up to real money. I wouldn't do that regardless because I think a person's word should mean something when they give it. But obviously a lot of programs do not share my view. I've even had pretty big programs swear they were going to pay me, even after they changed to a higher minimum payout and, while some have done so, and I continue to promote them, some surprising players have either sent me a check which shorted me for some ridiculously small sum like $25 or keep saying they are gonna pay me real soon.
Right, then stage 3 is that program either goes out of business or sells to another party. And then the Coup de grace, the unpaid earnings slush fund goes bye bye with the original owner.
