Almost. Too many affiliates don't show up in public probably because they're too scared the people they've screwed over will punch their lights out or the cops will especially the ones who hire flunkies to do their dirty work until the flunky doesn't get paid and turns states evidence against them.

Damn. Sounds like something out of Wiseguys or the Sopranos...

It's funny because on affiliate-heavy sites all you hear is how the program is screwing them over... but really if there was so much screwing over of everyone by each other, wouldn't the whole thing just collapse and we'd go back to peddling polaroids out of shoe boxes in alleyways?
