Another wow.
This morning my laptop doesn't want to start. Missing some boot files. STRANGE COINCIDENCE, HUH? About the whole lock thing. I DID NOT BREAK THE LOCK ITSELF. I locked it, and then when trying to open it, THE KEY broke in half. That's why I was driving through the shops -- to try and get the KEY fixed, not the lock. But fuckin hell, instead of at least trying to figure out a good solution for the both of us (like selling the studio and getting the money back), they hack the hell out of me. Now my laptop is down, way to go, nice business ethics. |

I am thinking the company probably has no idea what is going on and this is the work of a clever model and her boyfriend.
If I lived in your country with you laws I would just post galleries and do shit that doesn't require me to interact with people face to face and leave myself open to attack. |

With part of a broken key stuck in the lock, the lock is not operable (could be described by some as broken). You would need a locksmith to fix the lock (so that it becomes operable again) and at that time he could re-key the lock and provide an entirely new key, or possibly create a copy of the old key (if the lock was not damaged beyond having a broken piece of metal stuck in it). You sound like you were not entirely honest with your partner. I also like the idea that the "owner" was just a boyfriend and the real owner is going to fly in today and shoot you a couple times in the legs for stealing all his stuff and telling him such a lame story as to why the studio is completely empty and there is a duct tape smiley face on the wall. |

And the key did break, but not the lock. I twisted the key and broke off, but I was able to take out the 2nd part of it. I was a bit too honest with my partner by telling him everything he wanted to know (who has the keys, how many keys are there, etc.), and that's when he backstabed me. |

Alex and his fantasy
Quote:
I am the owner that Alex refers to above. I was going to let Alex crawl back under his stone but I cannot allow this to pass. I first met Alex when he posted in this forum looking for an affiliate managers job. I gave him a job with a generous salary and the financial and technical back up he asked for. He was a complete failure in generating revenue through the niche for which he was employed. To cut a long story short he says it is the cam business that he knows best and that I should open a studio in Riga. I pay for premises, equipment, (pc's, cams, routers, lights etc) furniture, recruitment of girls, salary for a technical guy, and I continue to pay Alex's salary. Three months later the studio is producing virtually no revenue and is still costing me $8000 month. I fly over to try and get the business going. I invite Alex and the 2 girls he has managed to recruit to dinner. Alex declines to attend because some other adult industry people will be there. I then learn that Alex is skimming the girls money that I send him. The tech guy no longer works there but I am still sending Alex money to pay him. Worst of all Alex cannot retain the girls that are recruited because he scares them off by sitting and watching while they do a show. I decide to terminate Alex's employment. The next day I go to the premises with the 2 girls who have happily agreed to help me collect the equipment to return to base. The lock has been broken and jambed. Alex did not have a key to get in so he has stopped me from getting in. I call a locksmith to open the door. Unfortunately I have to catch a flight to Amsterdam so I leave the girls packing the equipment. Four hours later I get a voicemail to my mobile from a terrified 18 year old girl saying that Alex came with 5 goons and forcibly stole all of the equipment. Please remember Alex is an employee of the business. He has no financial investment in the company no does he hold any shares. So you can all make your mind up what happend here. You can believe Alex who by his own admission was "sacked" from his job but still thinks he can empty the company premises of anything of value. Or you can believe me the who has lost the best part of $40,000 since I had the bad judgement to employ Alex Digo. Oh and by the way Alex, who paid for the laptop ? |

Latvia
Hi Oracle,
I have met lots of good honest Latvians, unfortunately guys like Alex are turning the country into a commercial pariah. I suppose I was naive and with dollops of hindsight it was a recipe for diaster. In the UK my word is good enough in lots of different places and likewise we trust others not to rip us off. This is how we do things. The thing is Alex is now destrying any chance he has of working in this industry by plying his nonsense on gfy. At best only 25% of the people who read this will entertain his version of events. Even those people are unlikely to trust him ! |

First of all, I have never skimmed any money from anybody. I knowingly told the girls they will be making 50% off privates, so they'd think we have an equal share, but in reality the studio was making less (60/40 cut).
The only times I EVER sat in the same room with a performer, was when I was REQUESTED to adjust video quality/lights/checkout who is the abusive guy/and so on. The studio that we started was on it's way to make money, first month didn't have much revenue as we were just starting. The second had more than $1k income, the third would've done more, and so on. It's not a 2 month thing. And you say that the tech guy doesn't need his money? The guy worked a full month and deserved it, I was going to wire him the money but then I get an sms saying I'm sacked. And the lock wasn't broken before you came there, I took the keys from the landlord and accidentally broke THE KEY while trying to unlock the door. Then you call the locksmith, and put everybody who was there in a position, where they've taken part in a break-in. On top of that, it was clearly said that the studio is mine. I would've gladly worked out a solution where we work back the money invested into it, but instead I get a stab in the back with the studio broken into and equipment packed up, and a smiley face on the wall. Also with my INITIAL employment, the deal was about a Cam business -- I never said I was good at marketing Phone Sex. And I guess that instead of figuring out possible solutions to the problem, it's best to try and get rid of the guy. Then you start hacking everything, attempt to steal my money and still say I'm the bad guy? I built you an operating cam studio, and of course there would be a certain period of time before the money is being won back. If I haven't gotten to the studio that day, I'd have gotten there the other morning, saw the whole place being a total mess, the lock broken and everything taken away. There's no point in bashing everything I say. Fact is that now because of you the people that broke into the studio are in trouble. I'll leave this thread to further "Oh no it's his fault" posts, I have better thing to do (like retrieving my stolen passwords, hosting accounts, making sure that my paypal doesn't get hacked again BY MY EX EMPLOYERS). |

Pretty damn strange, ain't it? Well at least I have my paypal back. And the post above even admits that he didn't want to ask me like wtf is up with supposed money skimming, and the girls & the tech guy turned out to be whores who'd do anything for money. I told my end of story, good luck convincing people the other way. |

hmmm
Sounds like a sack of shit to me. People hacking into gmail, icq, paypal and godaddy? Looks like you've been watching too many films..
Plus you said: "Fone-cash sent me over the equipment" yet you claim that they 'stole eveything', and you also said: "More than that, the so called employees offered my friends (the ones that happened to be with me during the packing) MONEY TO TURN THEIR BACK ON ME AND HELP THEM GET THE EQUIPMENT OUT." Why were you going to pack up the PC's with your friends? You said that fone-cash.com owned them. I dont belive about the duck tape smiley either, but maybe thats just me. |

Guess I'll ask it again, Alex, what exactly are you out here? The owner paid for the studio, equipment and all the operating costs and even bought you a laptop, so are you basically just out a job?

($8000 per month) Did you take this equipment with my blessing or did you steal it ? I really think you ought to listen to some of the advise you are being offered in this thread. At the end of the day you got sacked because you were to immature for the position and you did not perform. (an error on my part for giving you the job) You got sacked so you stole all of the equipment from the studio and now you are bitching that you had a hard time. To be honest 6 pc's, some cams and some lights is a cheap price to pay to get rid of you. Get over it Alex because you are really not improving your employment prospects with this crap. |

Astounded's version sounds alot more believable. With you, there is alot of "i was going to", "i intended to", "it just happened"....
They key just happens to brake. Keys are from steal, they don't "just happen to brake"? They tech JUST left the company and you were JUST about to wire him the money? Your shit gets hacked into? You obviously watched too many movies to say that. In the end, the guy payed for the equipement, and payed you a salary, if he intends to sack you and take the equipement that he payed for, you have no rights there of any kind, EVEN IF everything you say is true. Unless you have a contract, where you own anything from that studio, you have no saying in any of this.

Most likelly version of events
Cam studio is not performing up to par what the owner expected, or what you promissed it would. You don't sweat it. One day, owner tells you he's flying in to meet. You got cought with your pants down and try to fix what's worth fixing. You know you're getting sacked, so you try to take studio equipement by jamming the door and coming later.

Since the equipement was not yours and you didnt invested your money you dont have the right to acuse the site owner .
You may have worked your ass off to make it a good and profitable studio but was just a job and you just got fired . Running a cam studio is not so easy . In a way i understand your position, problems with models, very hard to find serious models, tech problems , isp problems, working with a lot of models is very hard, you invested time etc . But you made a deal with someone . He paid for all and your job was to run it . If the owner is expencting miracles from you well you must do everything you can to perform them . If not he can always end it . If you cant respect your part of the deal then let others that can and never cause problems just becouse you are not needed anymore . Move on ! |

Have no interest in either side, but nothing more than could be expected.
The audiotext industry is full of human vermin, scammers, fraudsters et al and effectively screwed their own industry by their scams. Tip - If you ever deal with the "phone sex" industry - everything needs to be on a contract, the jurisdiction for any disputes clearly defined and ya want photo ID's of every alleged "owner" or "rep" - otherwise tell em to go fuck themselves ![]() |

More to it
There seems to be more to it than that. The bloke who started the thread is now trying to ruin the reputation of his previous employer (not that i've heard of them before), and by the looks of his fairytale, he got sacked for being useless.
