I know many FTers have benefited from so-called zombie apps and it isn't necessarily a bad thing for the CC companies either as they don't pay referrals on them. Seems like the bloggers receive the brunt of downside from the zombie apps.

Which is why I find it odd that in his article he notes the following:

"Next stop was Citibank... We talked about old expired links. I can tell you they are trying to clean up old links and have put on extra personnel to do so."

Now, it is very possible that Citi simply asked him about them and he simply responded, but that's not necessarily how I read it. I looked in the comments section and a few users brought up this point, but no response from FTG yet. On that note, I was hoping to get others thoughts on this and determine if I'm overreacting.
