So, Mike South has his "facts" wrong..... again.

Who is Rios I have uncovered a gay actor using that name but it seems unlikely Im told this Tony Rios "has been around for a long time in both mainstream and adult"

normally I run something like this and I get slammed with info, some true some not but thats ok figuring out which is which is part of the job...or at least trying to...info on this has been very slow....very very slow....which of courses makes me wonder even more

Well let me help you with that..

Both AVN and XBIZ offices have a red phone each. It's a dedicated, encrypted phone line with a fingerprint that dials a 3rd encrypted one located at the MindGeek headquarters in Montreal. At the end of each working day me and Alec call to give a full report about the industry. While we do that we have to keep our fingers on the phone cause aside unlocking it..it acts as a polygraph.

We were "recruited" in a remote location we never managed to identify. We basically woke up and found ourselves there. We were warned not to try and hide anything otherwise extremely bad things will happen to us. Alec swears he recognized Fabian's voice, but I was too dizzy to tell. This fucker drugged us for good!

btw, did I ever mention I've never been to Canada? At least to my knowledge :)

Thanks for all the laughs. I have been cracking up in here. Especially the Ron Burgundy one. LOL. FYIâ?? I havenâ??t programmed my fingerprint to Montreal yet so Theo canâ??t be tossed until we get that done.

You make it sound like you have all this deep info on all the juicy info and of course get the info first but this just looks like something you made up and many people know all about it and you knew nothing. Even after you had time to ask around you still did not know what was going on.

Happy holidays to you Mike as well. I think this time you came on this a bit late, but I understand after seen your holiday photos :)

Tony has been working with me from our office since beginning of April. He is a new business partner of us and in August he was appointed as CEO which was the goal from the start. I introduced him to several people back in April during The Phoenix Forum, during summer to the clients in LA, in September during our WebmasterAccess event in Amsterdam, did the same at the European Summit, during AVN Halloween in Vegas and finally during the AVN Awards nominations. This is 6 different occasions and of course we'll do the same next month during the AVN grand week!

Tony has been in the industry since middle 90s, he is a successful entrepreneur and an incredible executive with a wide set of business skills. He shares a great vision for AVN like we do and we have been very thrilled working with him. Obviously we need to finally get him start posting here and resurrect his 2002 or so GFY nickname.

Robbie, we missed you during Halloween, I'm not going anywhere. I still work with our team and our clients on daily basis. With Tony on board you should anticipate only impressive things.

I'll skip to comment on the MindGeek comment cause its been getting old.

And herein lies one of my concerns, if this is such a great thing why wasn't it publicized? Until this thread it's clear an awful lot of people knew nothing about it....I would think that it at least warrants a press release or a cover story at AVN...

Was there ever a story on how Theo rose from an affiliate rep at DieselCash to owning AVN? That's an impressive feat.

We avoided the silly "the sky is falling" you often hear or read in the adult entertainment industry when there's a change like that. Companies do changes all day the time, it's only in our industry a sign of an upcoming catastrophic event. Real world: Tim Cook replaces Steve Jobs, next day stock goes up. In our little world is OMG what will happen now over at AVN!

For several months in row I introduced Tony to our clients, partners, merchants, service providers etc and he has been working closely and very successfully with them for a while now. If we ever go public, we'll make sure to let the rest of the world know about it and comply with the SEC regulations.
