The 'sue him' posts are pointless. Suing somebody in the USA when you live in Italy is simply not going to happen sadly although very, very deserved. But then as dumb as DH is showing himself to be in this thread, even he probably had enough sense to know that before posting it?
The whole thing makes me soooo glad I moved out of adult and into mainstream a couple of years back. Thankfully now my adult traffic just trickles and pays for a holiday or two so I don't have to deal with the idiots who abound in this business anymore.
As a final
I can't see how anyone can excuse DH's original post 'based on the data available at the time'. Even a deaf and dumb monkey could clearly see that the scam in all probability had nothing to do with the program owners. A noob should be able to spot that let alone someone who's been around as long as DH. But then again, said noob would also have questioned the original purchase and not have been scammed in the first place.
