Reading his post about why he and I met, it's clear he was another one of those guys who wanted me to drop what I was doing and turn the studio into a webcam studio.

His bullshit about Eva, who by then was the top content producer in the company by then working for such low money and not shooting sets is BS. We never chased the exclusive market. There's more money to be made in other markets. The fact he would hang around with us all day shows who was chasing who.

Does account why I forgot who he was.

Many content guys pushed back with answers like "i am not going to shoot for lower rates" etc. Which is fine. Paul and a few others agreed to do them in large packages - like 10 girls at a time. Russian girls could get Visas to CZ, everything there was cheap. I'd just rent a couple apartments for a few months for a few hundred a month in Brno. It was a nice treat for them. I could get all my content. Life would have been nice.
Do the maths about the costs to him and see why it doesn't make sense. Factor in the loss of our top shooter working on his cheap shit instead of more profitable production and see why it doesn't make sense. Eva shot magazine quality sets. He then lies about us being broke if we were broke we would have gone out of business.

Now factor in those girls working as webcam models in my studio and see his profit. Consider them working without a work visa and the risk to us.

He spent so much time with someone so obnoxious, who was chasing who?
