Everyone always asks me when am I going to retire, well here is your answer:

STATEMENT FROM PLAYBOY

After a very successful run, Joe Lensman is leaving Playboy and the industry to pursue other opportunities and interests. His departure is effective today. Eric Matis has agreed to step in and run the RealityCash and Playboy Webmasters business in addition to GFY.

We do not expect to miss a single beat in serving our affiliates, our partners and our customers. As with anything in life, businesses evolve and go thru transitions. Lensman has been an integral part of the industry and he will be greatly missed. We would like to thank Joe for his vision, leadership and contribution over the past 12 years and wish him all the luck and success in his future endeavors.

Did you REALLY retire or are you coming back in a month with a youtube video telling everyone they changed your passwords??????
