Is the flashcash "talk to a live agent" trick a NATS "traffic leak"?

So, I've been following this NATS shave "scandal" about the gimmick of having a "live agent:" chatbox come up that tries to hardsell the surfer, but in some cases apparently cheats the webmaster out of credit for the sale.

This had been mostly academic for me, and I wasn't following it too close.

Then I checked a flashcash link, and realized that they were using the gimmick.

Does anyone know if flashcash, specifically, has stated that they wont use the trick to shave?

p.s. it's certainly possible that I've misunderstood the problem, I really haven't been following the details, so if I'm wrong about any part of this question please correct me.
