VISA does $1.25 trillion worth of business a year, but you can't buy one fucking share of it. Ever wonder who owns Visa? Its, so they say, a consortium of banks and financial institutions. Visa is said to be an association that links cardholders, merchants and its competing member financial institutions through the world's largest electronic payment network. Now the good news, I assume, they are planning on going IPO.

I am wondering if this is going to change their porn policy long term, I mean, they might be getting more liberal, right? I think this is good news for us, but may be I am wrong.
