The unfortunate part is that ccbill lets the same people sign up over and over again after we've already pointed out that they're fraudsters. I really wish CCBill would do more of this checking, particularly since they ostensibly should have more info on these people than each individual sponsor does.

As far as why some program owners don't go over affiliates with fine tooth combs, the answer (for us at least) is that we don't have time. We are two people working at home making content featuring ourselves. That doesn't leave a lot of time to get all OCD over every single affiliate signup. I've no idea why large sponsors with staff don't, though.
