but I've always understood that if you're in a campaign and change your signature even briefly, it's noted by the campaign manager....somehow. I never understood the somehow, but is that not the case? And if it were as easy as switching sigs and trying to fool managers, we'd be seeing way more of these shenanigans.

Consider Duelbits that has about 112 participants, it will be very tedious to check if the 122 participants are wearing signature, then check for the post quality, then count the number of posts, update spreadsheet. This is a whole lot of work for a CM that is managing upto 5 different campaigns.

Why I don't blame the managers is because, no normal human being will ever think of switching signature between companies and receiving payments. It's weird to reason such and that is not actually something that I can conceive throughout my stay in this forum and likewise many other genuine users.

~snip~ @Royse777 must compensate the company for the past weeks

First I thought it's a weird request but then I emptied my mind and considered the proposal. Logically my client lost money on the guy and it's because of me. I can make many reasons why it missed my radar but all will sound excuses and I don't like excuses.

FYI, I compensated my client with the BTC that was lost on Shan85. It's my own interpretation of this specific case and as we all know it's not something common we experienced before.

That's your own interpretation. But as I stated earlier, it isn't necessary to refund the companies involved because Shan85 actually promoted the companies but in an inconsistent and dubious manner. There was no such time he was without a signature. Just that at one time, he is wearing BetterCallRaul signature and the other time he will wear Duelbits. So, there was actually a promotion, although it might be inconsistent.
