I do all of that every day, I frequently discover and remove cheaters but I have not found any conclusive issues with this affiliate.
I also don't have direct contact with the actual individuals doing this. They were brokered to me in a double blind deal (they don't know who I am either) by a broker who got me another dozen or so high quality affiliates, this is the only one that stands out as fishy. I have had concerns in the past and been able to get them resolved through the broker, so I don't doubt this situation will be the same.
I have an online meeting with him tonight where I will present a new product he's been begging me to let him push, and with that leverage I will insist this other affiliate use my standard pre-join forms or else discontinue the campaign - there are disclosures and descriptions there that I am not comfortable having bypassed.
