When you go and buy a house or a car, do you have to pay the full amount in cash?

This business is a positive cashflow business, I am sure he didnt use a bank to finance this, but I am sure as hell betting he could have with a good financial analysis of the company.

and

if you are in the right circles, individual wealthy investors would be all over a company like this. If they are offered a % of the company or a good interest rate on the money loaned it would be no problem coming up with even 400 million dollars in a short time.

Just because you do not have 50,100, 200 million dollars to play with, does not mean others in the world do not, and I think you would be amazed at how many wealthy people have that sitting around looking to parlay it into even more.
Can you name any other company that got BIG financial backing, in the porn business from banks or legit wealthy individuals? Online porn by 2007 wasn't that good an investment to warrant people putting in $100 mill.

So what was his track record. He wrote NATS and had some success with SEO. Can you name one person who made $140 mill in 3 years with SEO?

My problem with Fabian is we know very little about him or his company. He's clueless about porn prior to joining NATS, was a programmer there and consistently has been caught out lying on the board.

I suspect he's just the front man for others who want to stay hidden.
