He actually said in the 9figure range, so I'm thinking it was $500,000,000 and he also said that memberships were still the primary source of their income, not cams and dating... :winkwink:

Investors don't push a 9 figure fund into something without a strategy, so consider them all sitting on golden toilets in the near future :upsidedow

the 9 figures was to pay off some of their past buys and to fund future devs

ALL the money will be deployed by june/july

Nice with these type of numbers, acquired assets and the right crew you can do a lot of magic in future dev activities

So did they go to parties and threaten people's lives before or after the keynote speech?

Also, how is anyone confused by the industry rolling over for these people when it's just repeating the same pattern it always has? This was 100% predictable.

Even though Paul couldn't sell an adult membership for the life of him, he still knows better.

OK, be honest. After you got that kind of money, you had to have had at least a few raging nights with a bunch of whores strung out on coke. No?

Of course he will have a stance such as that. He couldn't very well stand up and state the obvious and still have people walk away thinking he is a good guy. Pirates always have an excuse or a reason that they try to make sound logical. And while they do comply with every DMCA sent, that doesn't make it OK. Some smaller tubes are giving content owners admin tools to delete their content as they find it. Manwin doesn't.

Comparing his tubes full of content that shouldn't be there, with other tubes that have content that shouldn't be there, is not a valid argument. Both are in the wrong. And just because content has not been sent a DMCA doesn't mean it's allowed to be there. It means that the owners have not seen it yet or don't police their content.

Anyway, I don't want to get into this debate again, just wanted to reply to your post. Looking forward to seeing the video.

This sounds like a lot of bullshit coming from someone who defended a bunch of scammers here with his life. Even when people left and right got their cards banged. Idiot.

GARY LEE 01-19-2012 08:10 PM

Nathan you did a good job on your speech. You came across as a very down to earth guy and not a head in the clouds I'm to good for you bigtime corporate owner. You answered a lot of questions but still left some mystery cause you didn't cover them all (on purpose I'm sure). I hope AVN is a good show for you guys. I know your a Fabian but you'll always be a Nathan around here. Don't lose track of your roots and beginnings.

I doubt anyone could take an hour long shit in a pool and if they did, it would not be up yet.

I was amazed but the amount of attendees that were there to see Fabian speak.
He did a great job, was extremely down to earth as he always seems to be, very intelligent and had alot to say.

I have the pleasure of working with several Manwin owned companies and many of their employees on almost a daily basis and I can tell you that they have a clear strategy and extremely bright employees. Manwin buys successful brands and improves what they all do best.

Kudos to Manwin and all who work with and for them!

Fabian himself commented that .xxx was videotaping his speech. I wonder what that was all about. He even joked about being handed papers and welcomed all who wanted to give him some court papers to come on up...no one went. lol.

9 figures investment in the adult business?????????????????????

Sorry if I sound the doubting Thomas here, but if it was money you were in control of would you invest $100,000,000 in adult entertainment today? Maybe to buy more of these.

http://img.homedit.com/2010/11/1_and_2_piece_toilet.png

He did mention toilets. :1orglaugh

The future will be interesting.

You are too funny Paul. Ever thought of getting into comedy? Maybe start a comic magazine?

If you meet me you'll find I come up with a lot of funny remarks. Good that you saw it as a joke, which is what it was originally and again here. some people are too dumb to even think. Magazines are not the way to go. You should know that. :winkwink:

To get a 9 figure some from investors and being in the field they are in, it would obviously take a very detailed plan and projection. More paysite acquisition, more offline porn company acquisitions. Yes it sounds good. We shall wait and see, I waited for the DP buy to be made public, will wait to see more.

Good for you. Who's next on your shopping list? Maybe online porn being owned by a few big boys working together, with the little micro Ma & Pa operations making a living is the best way forward. Concentrate on the fundamentals and not have to compete hammer and tong in a fragmented industry for affiliates and traffic. Seems ironic so many brown nosing you when you're in the business of dominating the industry. 9 figures gives you a good head start. :thumbsup

To get such a sum takes a well planned strategy. Not just going in and saying "If we had $200,000,000 we could buy lots of companies. You need to tell them who, when, how, price, return, etc.

I assume you've applied to a bank for a business loan. I have.

Pussy. Just put me on ignore. I made a valid comment. They are mostly picking up companies that have had their day or taking over the online operations. When they buy or take over one of the top players we will see the future. Still 9 figures invested in an online porn company in these days. You have to present pretty good plans, forecasts and spreadsheets to get that money from the financial sector. I see you're just the product manager, the CEO would know what is required to get this kind of backing from the financial sector.

I'm just throwing in the opposite view to the brown nosers. :thumbsup

i'm pretty sure Fabian just walked in, said "gimme all your monies!" and walked out with a big suitcase with a 9 figure sum....

Actually, I heard he said, "All your monies are belong to Manwin."

They caved. He walked out a wealthy man.

Maybe he hadn't had enough blow to give him the confidence to actually confront the person he blames for not making 'millions' any more.

I enjoyed the keynote. I found that it was a combined Fabian Thylman/Manwin biography. Isn't that what everyone wanted?

If you have ever visited their Montreal office, you'd know that they are ALL a cool group of people working in a well-greased, streamlined environment. (I didn't know about the Glee club though LOL)... :)

It sounds like it just might.. The goal is to provide the affiliate with some fancy stats but the thing that stood out was that they will pay the affiliate with one check. So manwin will be the buffer so if X program doesn't pay out manwin will be the one on the hook. They said it would be all their programs and they will do it for other programs as well.

So who ever they do this for the affiliate won't have to worry about getting paid by said program. I think Nats needed to do something like that a long time ago.

DamianJ 01-20-2012 10:08 AM

As cookies are about to be made illegal, I imagine the new system will use the computer fingerprinting tech that people are talking about where your machine is snapshotted.

That's what I would be doing in his shoes. As well as wanking over all my cash.

Didn't his brother have something to do with a stats product in mainstream? Wonder what TMM John thinks about the idea, and how close this idea comes to the Xpays patent.
