Just wondering.

I can't say whether or not that is happening here but I was just thinking about that the other day. When times are tough it's very tempting to get creative in order to be able to keep things as they are. We all know that. In many cases the affiliates are sitting right there like a piggy bank full of money ready for the taking. Take away a few sales, take some of their rebills and you may have just helped your bottom line considerably.
There is no government agency who is going to audit you. If you're caught you're probably not going to go to jail for ripping off porn affiliates. If you're caught on the boards well you can usually just lie and say the proof is a fraud or maybe you can just pay someone off. Stealing millions from affiliates would probably cover it.
If the company in question has done it before then all the more temptation to do it again.
