The FTC has established that Affiliate program owners are as GUILTY as the affiliate for the crimes an affiliate commits regarding the traffic sent to their program. That being said any person that commits fraud is a liability to TwistysCash and all of our affiliates.

If he did commit fraud against choker what is there to say he won't fraud us. Running a $100/signup promo I have to be careful of this. That is one of the downsides of running HUGE payout promos, you attract the hit and run fraud webmasters. Controlling fraud is the key to being able to paying our hard working honest affiliates the money they deserve.

On my end I've been involved in this resolution from the beginning. As the owner of TwistysCash I feel it is my responsibility to TwistysCash affiliates to find out if this guy is a fraud or not. If he is a fraud I have to get rid of him and his traffic from my program. If he isn't then everybody goes home happy.

His account has been put on hold. Payments are being witheld. Once we feel confident that this person has not sent fraudulent traffic to TwistysCash everything will be set back to normal. I've emailed him at least a dozen times in the past few days. He is aware of this and understands the importance of it.

Now if I'm out of line for doing that? I guess that's too bad on me. That's the way we are running things. I do not support scammers.
