i think you have very little basis for what your saying about a hypothetical situation involving the popular merge skins. it's the same thing that people were saying right after black friday. yet, all three sites have made strides to get our money back. just look at AP/UB. those guys fired 95% of their employees, filed for bankruptcy, and have been involved in shady activities since it's inception. Yet, they are planning to pay out, eventually.
though AP/UB are more visible to the public eye, the merge network is huge and spans several websites that probably bring in a fair amount of revenue. the skins operate on different levels in some sense, but it's a unified organization that handles the operations.
that said, i agree that important money should not have been deposited on merge. if having money stuck on a site for periods of time is an issue then you have a problem on your hands. however, i wouldn't be scared about not getting money back.
