They definitely don’t deserve to be lumped in with some of those others who simply ran a short term scam operation took the money and ran.
You can't compare internet marketing to the real business world. In the real world. The physical doors clothes they sell off the assets. They don't keep the employees there without paying them. Which is basically what happens when you are redirecting all the traffic that is being sent by affiliate links without compensating them for it.

If you close down, close down.

I am all for them paying affliates. It is more then what 98% of all the other programs that have closed has done. But they are still monetizing other peoples traffic without paying them for it.
