Noticed that too.

Now a bunch of other sites picked up the story. It's on the first page of Slashdot.

As an alternative to buying in-game currency with real money, many games make use of lead-generation offers — letting players sign up for a trial service or take a survey in exchange for the currency. The system is rife with scams, and many game developers turn a blind eye to them, much to the detriment of the players and the legitimate advertisers — not to mention the games that rightly disallow these offers and fall behind in profits.

OK, so as expected, Dennis Yu is a shitbag and a hypocrite. There are several active flogs hosted on implux, with the same nameserver as dennis-yu.com, protected by fake private whois privacysecure.net
Sorry for outing landing pages, but these are just poorly made flogs, nothing new to anyone here.

brittanysweightloss.com
nicolesweightloss.com
strikingriches.com

and my favorite,
sixpackabsforme.com

There you go. At least four active flogs operated by holier-than-thou Dennis Yu and friends.
And for bonus lulz, here's an employee blog pimping blitz:
JOANVASQUEZ.COM
The "review" of blitzlocal.com gives everything a 10...lol.

Are you sure these are his? These are fucking horrific.

They share an office building with Richter. Their actual office suite is shared with "high volume email deployers" Ad Optimizers.

Heh. They work quite closely apparently.
Cash4creatives.com - Cash 4 Creatives
Cash4Creatives is owned by CPAEmpire (Edit:Affiliate.com. Fuck the new branding). But then from a blitz* error page...

He also works with Neverblue apparently(has their subid import APIed...or at least prepared to)
