Bob Rice takes position at Virage Media Limited as VP of Acquisitions and Mergers

(San Diego, CA) Long time Adult Industry veteran, Bob Rice, who some may remember as the former owner of YNOT.com, has recently left Lightspeed Media to take an executive position with Virage Media Limited.
Rice states: “The time spent with LightspeedCash was a fantastic experience. The staff, Steve, Shannon, Lisa, Tut and Sid, is all like family. We worked hard to get LightspeedCash placed in a solid business position for the future.”
Virage Media Limited has a wide range of experience and focus in International web marketing. The experts at Virage Media specialize in strategic investments in which they implement their own unique technologies to enhance the brand. Recent acquisitions include XTube.com, and IWantU.com.
Rice’s position as VP of Acquisitions and Mergers includes a substantial budget to investigate potential sales and partnerships with other legitimate businesses within the Adult arena.
“Virage Media has proven themselves as a substantial and serious player in the Adult acquisition business. To be in charge spearheading their future development is a position I am thrilled to embrace.” Rice states. “If you are interested in exploring a sale of your company or strategic merger, let me know and see if we can work out the right numbers.”
To further discuss business opportunities with Bob, you can reach him by email at [email protected] or ICQ 184-807.

As with most things Manwin, Fabian Thylmann has avoided answering questions forthrightly with regards to Virage, Bob Rice, his money partners, advertising on Pirate Bay, etc... :disgust

Or the NastyDollars rumor.

old interviews and press releases said that virage entered the market with 500 million for acquisitions.

Surprise! We've allowed a bunch of scammers and scumbags to take over most of the industry. And here's the kicker: you don't know all that they really own. Maybe even your biller.

A protection racket is an extortion scheme whereby a criminal group or individual coerces a victim (usually a business) to pay money, supposedly for protection services against violence or property damage.

Racketeers coerce reticent potential victims into buying "protection" by demonstrating what will happen if they don't?they damage the victims' property. In most cases, the racketeers do not actually protect their client from anything but the racketeers themselves, and their "protection" is merely extortion. However, if their victim is seriously threatened by a third party, sometimes gangsters will protect their source of revenue.

Legitimate businesses are not the only victims of protection racketeers. Other criminals are also targeted, since they cannot ask police to stop the extortion. However, for that same reason, criminals sometimes actively seek to buy this "protection".

Paradoxically, in a parasitic relationship, the parasite both damages the host and prefers that the host remain healthy. Thus, when criminals are cheated or abused (e.g., a cocaine dealer is swindled by his supplier) they cannot turn to the police and instead rely on powerful gangsters to protect the gangsters' income.

The patterns of subterfuge and deception by Mansef/Manwin should be obvious to all by now...yet greed tends to prevail over ethics and good judgement, especially in this industry, which is why the many areas of the industry have taken such a tremendous hit over the past few years. :2 cents:
