I've bought a lot of sites (adult and mainstream) over the years and fortunately I've never been ripped off. Until now it seems.

I made a deal with someone to buy a bunch of adult sites with X amount of organic traffic. As it turns out, the total amount of traffic coming is around ½ of that and only 5-10% of that is organic. The rest is from other sites like thehun.

I've paid 2/3rds of the money, the last third is pending until some work was done.

My question is this, would you pay the rest? I never asked for proof of traffic sources since I basically trusted the seller and we're not talking about a ton of money anyhow. But based on principle, I'm reluctant to pay for something that's ultimately worth NOTHING other than potential domain value.
