is there any legal recourse for the players? i.e. if enough people chipped in for a lawyer, would a suit hold up in court considering the circumstances? just wondering...

If they have written record of an agreement (exchanged emails, for instance), that is a binding contract. Realistically, the best way to handle the situation is to get everyone together -- especially his money-making players -- and as a group threaten to boycott him entirely if he does not make right.

I'm sure *someone* has his real name contact info, etc. In this business, integrity and trust are everything. If he doesn't make right, I'm rather sure the parties affected can make it rather difficult for him to continue making money as an affiliate.

Just my two cents as an uninvolved party.
