I would have thought 25% yes and 75% no. We'll see where it ends up. I'm surprised the recent news and happenings haven't been discussed here.

With what was happening it sounds like it sucks for the poor guys getting their cards banged.

Mutt 12-02-2009 03:05 PM

Yep. I believe it is a definite loss of clearing rather than potential loss.

I believe just merchant account owners. Some big boys got burned heavy on this one.

i cant believe the ftc has only slapped a few nutri companies on the wrist.. the whole acai berry thing has to be one of the greatest online frauds of all time..

i wonder what the long term impact on consumers will be.. but i guess as the saying goes "there's a sucker born every minute"

I agree. I have to say the one positive thing about this is that this is a non adult product scamming people.

Not to turn this into a political thread, but the Bush Express was responsible for that. The Republican party, really. They traditionally take a very hands off approach to how people run their businesses, and companies on the fringe get away with a lot when Republicans are in power.

The Democrats are consumer friendly. The Repubicans are business friendly, but this includes businesses skirting the law.

This was all done in the past 8 months i believe.

This is without doubt a direct impact from the tube sites :pimp

The fact that a picture is needed to get views to a business thread is kinda sad.

This had nothing to do with US policy, it was all overseas...

Robbie 12-02-2009 04:25 PM

I'm kinda confused.

How does this affect the online porn industry in any great way? And how does it reflect that "State Of The Industry"? I'm capable of using Google and now know it's an Israeli Visa and was used a lot for pharmaceuticals, online gambling and porn. But I'm not sure how it affects me. Were you doing business with them and it affected you? Or was anybody on here doing biz with them? Our merchant account is still at Humboldt...guess we're the last ones who haven't moved it overseas yet.

Damn, and I didn't even have my make up on or my hair fixed for that shot. :1orglaugh

That's my head cut out of the pic I took a few weeks ago sitting at my desk for the Dec. issue of AVN mag's Executive Suite article on me.

I was trying to look "serious" and "normal"
I guess it was an epic fail from what you're saying. I shoulda stuck to my usual Freddie Mercury look. :pimp

FreeHugeMovies 12-02-2009 06:46 PM

Shap. Did you get my email Playa?

SleazyDream 12-02-2009 06:46 PM

i'm with robbie here - I really don't see how this effects me.........

SleazyDream 12-02-2009 06:58 PM

i'm assuming this is the Israeli processing company that was showing up at the last few shows i went to a couple years ago......

The thread "When do you fart in a relationship" appears to be getting more replies. I think that sums up the state of our industry pretty well :thumbsup

Man, come to Internext in Vegas.
If you come, that'll make three of us there. You, me, and Claudia-Marie. Don't know if anybody else will be there or not. But if you show up I'll "buy" you a drink at a sponsored free bar and call you "bro"

Don't worry, the coke is so shitty here I'm sure that there is no actual cocaine in it. :1orglaugh
Luckily Claudia-Marie will get pyschologically high THINKING it's real and then it's anal all night long.
