Lars Says: Adult Friend Finder NOT Sold
 
Quote:

"There is no deal, currently," Lars Mapstead, co-owner and vice president of marketing for AdultFriendFinder, told AVN Online.

TechCrunch reported that the company may have been purchased for $1 billion, later reducing that figure to $500 million.

"They are just rumors," Various founder Andrew Conru told AVN Online. "Over the last couple of years, we have been talking with a number of possible investors, as well as investigating a possible public offering - lots of interesting things.

It's hard to believe anything in the adult business, period.

Whatever happens, soon or in 5 year's time, all I care about is they take care of all my rebills :winkwink:

bacvk it up old man... why is that funny? do you think other acquisitions like myspace, youtube, the facebook play, etc are an example of what things are worth?

its my opinion and its based on some knowledge of valuations and how they are formulated and my knowledge of dating and cams and my prediction of where adult is headed in the next 5 years...

disagree with me, fine... but back up with facts why you people think aff is worth more than $200 mill....

boneprone 11-20-2007 12:11 AM

Safeway wants to keep it quiet until its official.. Thats how these things work.

because it makes over $200 million a year as it is. why the fuck would it be worth less than they make annually?

marketsmart 11-20-2007 01:05 AM

thats $200 million revenue.... not profit as far as i know... please correct me if i am wrong... revenue and profit are 2 totally different things..

i loove how sleazy, baddog, etc.. laughed off my comments, but when i asked for their opinion they so far have had none to offer...

it didn't start off a rumor, JTF was really going to buy it, but then he had a little problem coming up with all the cash. He was going to "borrow" $100 from everyone who posts here to collect the 500 million but he ran a little short, got evicted and who knows where he is at now.

Well, it is entirely possible that it was an "inside job" rumour, in order to float a balloon and see if they can get any interest in a possible buyout, after all of AFFs negative publicity the past year...

It is not inconceivable that AFF and others that appear to be essentially underwriting wholesale theft of content, have a lot to fear from future lawsuits that enjoin them in a criminal conspiracy, and they are trying to find a way to cash in, before they are sued out of existence.

That statement does not look like a flat denial ... note the words "currently" and "talking to investors ... lots of interesting things".

And for those laughing off the $200 million number, marketsmart makes a good point - what is your expert valuation?

thank you... this is why i say worth is $200 mill... any company that has the $$$ to buy aff would most certaintly look at the above mentioned items. all it would take is a few well guided lawsuits would crush the overall valuation...
