In short, they are not going anywhere, and I doubt there is any real incentive to "sell out to Manwin". CCB owns Phoenix NAP, Secured Servers, and possibly other businesses (i.e. diversity) to my understanding. I can't speak to all of the others.

I have been with Verotel almost a decade, and while they've had a bump here and there over that time, I have no real complaints in the grand scheme of things. I have heard they are big in some other markets, and especially in Europe with SMS billing. I've been with Zombaio almost since their introduction to adult 3-4 years back. While Zomabio may be new to adult business, it's not a new processing company. Feel free to read up on their history (common sense). Have they had a few hiccups here and there? Sure. But almost every processor in adult has at one point or another.

What I am getting at here is, adult is probably a drop in the bucket for their overall revenues considering they are diversified companies. It's not like losing adult business would completely crush their business model like it would some beer money baron affiliate.

I mainly think they will sell just to focus on Phoenix NAP because adult will be seen as a liability in comparison and not worth it. Not in a declining market anyway. I know they aren't under-capitalized. It's just a gut feeling I have. Speculation is all.
