When we bought both BritishBucks and LatinoBucks, we paid all outstanding affiliate debts. That's a standard part of any takeover deal: agree to a price, then payout debts first and give the remaining money to the old owner (SOBV).

I find it difficult to think of working with these sites / programs since they are starting off on a bad foot. Maybe if enough people pressure them into paying old debts, they will?????

One other thing, most buyouts are structured to pay the old owner over a period of at least 12 months...so if you actively promote these sites, you are DIRECTLY funding SOBV.
