I couldn't do your job. I have a hard time endorsing anyone other than myself. A lot of people are just crooked to start with, then there are situations where people you thought were great turn out bad when times get tough. Look at the Aga / N3tPOND situation. Guy had a great reputation for 15 years, he gets into a legal battle, times get tough and he uses affiliate money to pay his legal bills.
You come in and have to try to paint a turd and make it look pretty. You endorse them and try to tell everyone it will be ok, nothing is wrong... for what a couple hundred dollars a month? In all honesty there is a very high chance that HIGR's affiliates will end up not getting paid at some point. He will either end up in jail and program will be closed, lose his merchant account, use the money to pay his legal fees, etc... chances are something bad is going to happen.
You are paid to try to spin it and make good "PR", but I just don't know how you can do it. When he sinks and all of his affiliates get screwed and he disappears you are going to be the one left behind to get the full brunt of shit from everyone who didn't get paid. That is a lot of abuse and reputation trashing for how ever much you are getting paid to put your neck on the line for HIGR. I know you are not responsible and you are just "doing your job" but we both know that 95% of the people who will get screwed will lump you in with Dirty D and tear into you. Especially if he disappears and you are the only one around for them to vent to.
