I had told this affiliate just this week that I appreciated his traffic as I had been dealing with a rash of carders and was weeding them out. He immediately requested early payout citing a family emergency so I became suspicious.

Sounds really suspicious then. One thing I would do if I were a sponsor is look to see if these affiliates have an established board presence anywhere. If not that then at least I would want to check some of their sites to verify they have been in the industry for a while (check archive.org and whois history also?). I presume most of these carders and chatters lie about the sites they own or look like they are fairly new to the industry.
