The definition of family member is, uhm, advantageous.
In lots of middle eastern cultures, 7th cousins are regarded as being 'close family' , so maybe they are adopting that mentality!!

So do they have any sort of cross-checking/quality assurance that goes into play, or is it basically free transfer to anyone and everyone who is 'family' and that's that?

I guess they're putting a lot of trust in people...that can be good or bad!
