March 12, 2011 Update from MLSP:
Just a quick update on the situation with your affiliate commissions.
You can expect your affiliate checks to be processed as normal for the next pay period which ends after the 15th of March.
We will now be doing all of the check processing and distribution in house with our own staff starting for this next pay period. We are completing the set-up of systems to make this transition smooth and seamless.
We will be paying out the regular affiliate commissions via check as usual on the 16th of March. We will include the previous pay-period commissions on this payment as well.
In addition, some of you had not yet cashed previous checks that had been mailed to you. We are in the process of completing a full accounting, to determine the commissions that had not yet been cashed from previous pay periods. We will attempt to complete this also and send payment with this upcoming pay out.
We appreciate your understanding in this matter, as this situation has been a very frustrating and unfortunate situation for everyone to deal with, but we are excited to be bringing this process in-house from this point forward, so these risks will no longer be an issue.
Thank you.

Previous blog post:
I just received a notice from MLSP – My Lead System Pro, telling me not to cash affiliate checks.
Apparently the company that handles affiliate payment for MLSP had their assets seized by the Federal Government, including the MLSP affiliate check funds.
It looks like the MLSP team is working hard behind the scenes to get this resolved as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, here is a statement from Norbert, Brian and Todd, (Founders of MLSP) along with the public statement from the affiliate company, Integration:
THE AFFILIATE CHECKS YOU WERE SENT ARE NOW VOID
AND THEY WILL BOUNCE if you try to cash them, and you
will be charged a NSF fee from your bank.HERE IS WHAT WE ARE DOING:
We are currently looking for a new method to
send your affiliate commissions.The next affiliate payout date is March 15th.
We will find a new solution by this date and we
will payout all commission that are due to you,
which will include the previous amount, all
together in ONE check.We apologize for this inconvenience and
assure you that we will fix the issue, and
make sure you receive all affiliate commission
that are due to you.Thank you for your patience.

PUBLIC STATEMENT from Integration Inc.
STATEMENT
Integration, Inc. – March 7, 2011
On Thursday March 3, the United States Government informed Integration, Inc. that, among our numerous valued, honest customers, a single company which used Integration’s check-writing services, or one of its behind-the-scenes affiliates, had allegedly engaged in activities that the Government deems unlawful.
On that basis, an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Kansas City, Missouri, without any advance notice to Integration, Inc., obtained a Court Order which seized not only the funds of that one customer, but all of our customers’ funds. The Order was issued by U.S. Magistrate Judge John T. Maughmer, in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Missouri, Case No. 11-SW-30-JTM.Integration, Inc. promptly retained legal counsel who, on Friday March 4, reached out to the Assistant U.S. Attorney and are attempting to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, so as to remedy the Government’s seizure of innocent companies’ and individuals’ funds. Communications continued over the weekend.
We are dismayed to say the least that the U.S. Government would do such a thing to innocent companies and individuals. It was done without any advance notice and was entirely beyond our control. We will do everything we can, through our legal counsel, to convince the Government to reverse this overreaching action. However,
that is in the hands of our attorneys, the U.S. Attorney, and the Courts.
Where are they going to get the money for their affiliates if there assets have been seized?
just asking
“Apparently the company that handles affiliate payment for MLSP had their assets seized by the Federal Government, including the MLSP affiliate check funds.”
