I am in the worst position of my Life, thanks to MCP Entertainment/Misguided Media...
For those of you who know don't know me, my name is Donnie Adamson and I am the FORMER Online Marketing and Affiliate Programs Director of MCP Entertainment (Owner of MisguidedMedia). The reason I say former is that the company has not contacted me since the New York City Webmaster Access show which I paid out of my own pocket to attend and promote the program.
Approximately 5 months ago when myself and Latin Teen Cash ended our projects together, MCP Entertainment had the "CashIn3D" affiliate program with a 70% revshare, and contacted me in regards to marketing their affiliate program and paysite Bangin3D.com. Throughout negotiations of my employment I percieved quite a large amount of "non winning program features" within the program and gave them a program layout that in my eyes would be successful. Those things included but were not limited too a complete program rebranding, complete paysite rebranding and redesign, affiliate tool setup, hosting setup (as they were on an ASP backend for some CRAZY reason), programming (myself and others), complete project management from content organization, hosting setup, backend installations, subdomain setup, cascades, cross sales, traffic, affiliate management, everything from A-Z. Well, after all that, 2 paysites, and so forth, I have literally been fucked in the ass with a sand paper dildo and have been thrown out like the trash. After the launch of Misguided Media and Bangin3D.com I should have realized that the company was not as "reliable" as they had shown themselves to be. The outsourcing company for our designer at hand had contacted me as the owner of the company was "unreachable" yet he conversed with me every day. After the account became 2 months overdue with the outsourcing company they cut the designer. Thats where my job grew even more. I officially became the companies server admin, marketing director, full time designer, programmer, affiliate manager, project manager, sales director, and yadda yadda yadda. I did all of this for 600 dollars per week and not once complained about my salary. Immediately after the launch of HDPornKings (which i advised against the branding but was told to do so anyhow) I took my own money that I had earned from building this program and two paysites and purchased my plane ticket (well had MCP entertainment purchase my plane ticket and keep my funds) to the NYC Webmaster Access show. I also used my own money to pay for my hotel in staten island due to the steep prices of the city itself, the pass, and all my expenses during the trip. I was literally working 15-18 hour days monday through sunday when all of those in the office in chatsworth had weekends off. I busted my ass more than anybody. Let's get a little deeper into this as well. I left Romania with 700 dollars in my pocket, as the company had promised to have my funds waiting upon my arrival to the USA. Well it wasnt there when I arrived, and for the first 2 days I managed on 700 bucks including my hotel, 200 dollar admission to the show, and expenses back and forth from staten island, then I went broke, and was stranded. At this point, I had lost it and was stranded. Fortunately Harmik from Epoch helped me out and I also picked up a another tattoo which really helped me out. With that being said, I finally recieved my pay (2 days late) and was ok. I finished the show, made good business and the "war" so to speak to me was worth it (thanks for your traffic guys). I then came up to connecticut and rhode island to see family and friends that I hadn't seen in 2 years and talked to the owners my first day back and began hitting up my contacts. I decided to take the weekend off and started on monday. No contact, tuesday, no contact, wednesday (payday) no contact. I have been exhausting every means of contacting the company and owners since my start back last monday. Well, its now tuesday morning, 6 days after I was supposed to be paid, and there has been not even a message sent to me. I have also missed my flight back to Romania where all of my belongings, clothes (besides those brought with me) my puppy, computer, EVERYTHING is still there. I have exhausted all of my funds, and have hit the most bottom point of my life. I missed my flight on my own behalf. I did leave 6 hours prior to my flight, however due to NYC traffic I was gridlocked and missed my flight. Immediately after missing my flight I tried to call the owners of MCP/Misguied Media to rebook it so I could at least make it back to my home, well, no reply, and I cant do anything as its booked under their credit card. Consider this my resignation. You have left me broke without a computer, a care, or a hope in the world and I have lost everything that I have gained due to you "avoiding" me and your companies responsibilities. In all honesty, I wish you would have just spoken with me so I would have at least some type of closure and been able to move on before having absolutely nothing but clothes in a bag sleeping on my buddies couch in a basement with everything dear to me halfway across the world. I have absolutey nothing, and nobody to help me, but its cool, I know I have what it takes and the dedication to put my life back together. I am not leaving the adult industry, yes I may have to work some "real world" jobs until I get back on my feet, but for those of you who really do know me, and know how dedicated I am, I won't be down for long. I am seeking employment from this point on and will be posting a formal resume by this time tomorrow, and I am also willing to relocate anywhere. If you need references, I have them all day from Program Managers, personal contacts, affiliates, whatever.if you need any odd jobs done...sites made/blogs installed....anything hit me up asap, i'm a hell of a hard worker...& just down on my luck because some company decided to strand 5,000 miles away from home. I just figured I would give the majority of the story so everyone knows to avoid doing business with MCP Entertainment and Misguided Media from this point on, as I don't even think they will pay out now that I am not there. AFFILIATES STOP SENDING TRAFFIC NOW and send it somewhere where you can trust you will be paid, odds are if they fucked me, they will fuck you too. Thanks for your time guys and best regards. |

Dude i gotta say I'm fucking pissed off.
Who the fuck sends an Employee 5,000 miles from home & then strands them without a paycheck. That's lower than fucking low. That is outright disgusting. Sorry that happened to ya Big_D...but this will make you even tougher. Talk about the worst situation i could even imagine. You got some serious restraint. Because I'd be on a bus to Chatsworth or whatever right now with a baseball bat. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP BRO!

I wanna see some love in this thread. If you got an odd-job, or some sort of gig ya need done quick to help D get back on his feet...toss it over his way. He will get it done quick & right the first time.
Give your outsourcers a break tonight & help a real good guy jump right back up on his feet. I'll be tossing him some gigs this week. What kind of payment method can you take at the moment D...I'm sure you didn't bring all your cards & shit for the show...I know you weren't planning on being stranded by some ass-hat company. |

Big D,
That's one fucked up scenario bro. Hit me up on ICQ man, if you are willing to come out to Los Angeles I can provide you with an office to work in during the day. Let me know if that would be of interest to you, there are a few other things I'd rather talk straight to you about over ICQ. Maybe we can help each other. |

Shit like this is unheard of. The guys at Misguided Media need to smarten up and hit Donnie off with $20k+ for his troubles and save whatever dignity they might have left after a thread like this. Unbelievable.

hit up my ICQ man, no one deserves this. I'll come up with something you can do, if it can help you get home or something.
I remember once, I went downtown as a teenager and lost my wallet, had no way to get on the bus or anything...felt fucking stranded...can't even imagine how you must feel! |

Wow... so much of that sounds SO FAMILIAR to me. I really feel for you. You have it way worse than I did though. I managed to avoid the stranding at least. Good luck to you.

Since i know how was his life here in Romania in the past 6 months since he started with Misguided Media, i can tell you these: - i never see a guy working so hard. Dude, you are crazy! 8 to 14 hours each day!! I think in the past 2 months you even dont get out in weekends. - the passion for things you made its simply amazing. I don't think i will ever meet a guy that do things with such dedication. BTW, i was present when Donnie handled all stuff he said. |

I have no idea who this company is....& i usually don't jump the gun on the merits of a company due to an employee decision. However, leaving a person stranded in another country without their payment is unacceptable.
I hope they come forward & make this right....In a timely fashion. Ok I've said my peace.....good luck donny & i know you'll come through all this. |

Really worse situation, but why the fuck do you work for $600 a week with such a responsibility for the programm? thats just $2.4000/month which turns out to be 1.500EUR a month.. Even the housemaid at my parentshouse earns more then that..

Big D spent his last night-ish time here at my place in jersey and I have to say he was a good houseguest. He barely even slept while he was here. He was checking emails, answering icqs, etc while me and my fiance were asleep. After that he slept 2 hours before trying to catch the transport to ct. He's a very hard worker and a really great guy.

Gotta say I agree. No one who knows what they are doing earns $600 a week. Not sure what job you are looking for Big D but maybe the adult iz isn't for you? We pay our cleaner more than that and she is part time. The fact that your broke, with no income, no money isnt a great advert for a company looking to employ someone. Hope it works out for you, But this sort of goes to prove alot about this industry. This isnt aimed at you but a lot of people I see. A man goes to a show, networking, talking about biz and designs a program around what he believes affiliates need. But that rep of the company earns just $600 a week and is broke. |

Donnie, e-mail me, as I may have some projects for you, all paid up front, since you seem like a person that can be trusted, and I hate seeing good people get screwed over...
