What happens in a lot of these cases is when a processor freezes the account, the company all of a sudden sees that money as their affiliates money, and all the rest of the money / assests the company owns is the companies money. Most companies wont sell off assets or dip into other business accounts, lines of credit, personal money, etc... to pay off affiliates... WHEN THEY SHOULD. It is not the affiliates fault they lost their processing. The company should pay up with "their own" money, and then they can wait for the freeze to be released to get their money back.
That's a good point. Think that attitude is prevalent in most industries- you won't see any executives from Enron rushing out to sell off assets to pay back shareholders.
