One should not mix issues here.
A sponsor accepting a payment from epass for porn is absolutely not the same as a sponsor making a payment through epass to a trusted long time affiliate.
The delay in making payment to affiliates and the minimum dollars paid are two separate issues. Slightly increasing the delay to pay may be a legit way to reduce fraud, quadrupling the minimum payout...that's just smoke and mirrors and is not related to fraud reduction at all.

I can answer you with basic logic... It's 1, 2, 3, just follow me.
If you have a $50 min payout, that's 2 sales to get paid.
If you have a $200 min payout, that's 5-6 sales.
So, either a frauding webmaster will have to produce 5-6 sales in a period, probably flagging them at the processor level, stopping all sales from that point, which is what us programs want. Or, they will role into two periods, giving the program a chance to have not paid on the first round of fraud, and still giving the processor a better chance to catch if the program missed it.
What's more amazing is, fraudulent webmasters actually send real sales with frauded cc sales, even on accounts that have been paid legit funds in the past. They also contact the program and ask why they haven't been paid, and argue that it isn't fraud, even threat they will take it to the boards.
Now, I'm really good at explaining things like 30 different ways for, slower people. If you need me to explain it again, a different way, I will.
