Sorry, I thought you were a programmer. Okay...you owned 1/3 of NATS when it first started and wrote the original program? That's something you can really be proud of.
Now, the hundred million dollars that you "borrowed" in the middle of the biggest world wide economic crisis of our lifetimes when banks worldwide were withholding credit? That's another story.
And excuse me...Digital Playground wasn't crippled compared to what they once were?
Twistys was still making money like it was 2005? (Though Twistys was probably doing a lot better than DP was by that point).
Playboy's online presence was kicking ass? (have to admit that they were barely treading water even BEFORE piracy lol)
Hey, I'm not saying that getting those sites wasn't a VERY good idea. I'm just saying that you got them for pennies on the dollar compared to what their worth was BEFORE piracy went berserk. Low hanging fruit.
But if you want to spin it like you got them at the top of their game then be my guest.
Doesn't really matter. Things will play out one way or another.
Bottom line is...you're living the high life now. But every accomplishment you've listed, and every bit of money that you've spent has come in a BIG part from the work of others that was pirated and put up on your tubes.
I earn my money from my work. You earn a large part off other people's work.
