I agree but I'm not convinced that the money is coming from the industry itself. Nathan says otherwise but I wonder who is really behind the scenes as you go higher up. Most organizations in this industry would not survive a government seizure as Mansef did and few have the cash these days to buy up as much as Manwin has.

They claim to own webcams.com now and as I recall it switched hands right around April 2010 or thereabouts. I believe that's also around the time when the U.S. Secret Service seized millions from them. It's not just everyone who has the fucking United States Secret Service after them you know. Someone had to have provided some financial support for them to survive.

How many people here think they could survive the US secret service seizing their assets? Show of hands please. That's what I thought.
