If they really are in as serious financial trouble as many folks say, it seems like they are coming up with bizarre paperwork requests so they can keep the funds they owe many of their affiliates. Or at least have justification to slow pay. Multiply a hundred bucks here and a fifty bucks there by a large percentage of the vast number of affiliates they must have and I expect that adds up to money.
