[MrMaxwell]

I assumed it had to come from the program somehow
But it would HAVE to be some fake company, it can't be them, can it?
I thought that they were various inc?
This e-mail looks stupid, sounds stupid, and it doesn't have the AFF company feel to it at all

[Nautilus]

Obviously they need IPO money to keep buying those pre-paid spots on the illegal tubes.

sounds like they can't get the ipo to go through, something that was obvious to everyone but them that it wouldn't be an easy thing to pull off. Now they are trying to get their affiliates to "buy in" and generate interest in the IPO in hopes to get it to go through. A company that has millions and millions of dollars of debt is still tryin to go to an ipo so they can cash in on their own stock options.

This is wrong on so many levels, penthouse has been one never ending train wreck of a story, from ibill to this... hopefully when AFF/Various/ what ever they call themselves this week finally crashes and burns for good this nightmare can be put to rest.

Truly a classic scam. Funny how this comes out after the public transition of the company.
