They'd presumably be advertising your services though (not the kids website). Easier to establish fraud.

Not your services, affiliate marketing. Much harder to determine who got the payout.

Seems risky still, $100k risk for n% of $100k payout. They might say they'd waive it if you can show the advertised accounts are in the kids name, and that the kid refunds all the money from their account.

In the original artcile, the ad being run was for his band. Doubt he made any money at all.

The fact that there was payout at all indicates something suspicious. This was just crappy promotions for youtube videos owned by the same person.
