DMOZ Editor Abuse
I would (guess) estimate that a large percentage of editors don't own any sites in any of the categories they edit.
Editors who do have control over their site's listing are often closely scrutinized by senior editors. This is one of the measures in place to prevent abuse. This is especially true in the more "commercial" categories.
Abuse certainly does occur, but I would again estimate that the abusers are caught more often than not. If you suspect abuse, please complete one of the reports already mentioned. It is the only way your complaint/allegation will be taken seriously and investigated.
I can tell you that those reports are reviewed and alleged abuse is investigated.
