Porn MegaBucks says I'm a fraud

After further investigation, and consultation both with my boss and Paycom, we can find no evidence linking Sheepguy to the fraudulent signups put through under his reseller code.

Tho the signups were most definitely fraudulent, it seems that it is possible that Sheepguy was in fact the unwitting victim of someone with a batch of stolen credit cards.

Although I acted in good faith based on both the evidence before me, and my past experience with cases just like this, I accept that this time I got it very wrong.

I now know that although on the surface it appeared like a clear case of webmaster fraud, there is now something else to take into consideration when investigating cases like this, something that was not, in my experience, an issue previously.

I apologise unreservedly to Sheepguy for any distress my actions may have caused him.

As a gesture of conciliation, when reinstating his account I have also raised his payout to 70%, an action I realise is most likely futile as he is unlikely to ever send us a hit again, however it has been done.

Again, my wholehearted apology for the understandable distress this episode has caused.
