few moaths back they bought this http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2011/09/12/friendfinder-networks-buying-deals-site-jigocity/ FriendFinder Networks this morning announced the acquisition of BDM Global Ventures, the parent of JigoCity, a local daily deals site, for 1.6 million in FFN shares and about 6.4 million of FFN warrants with strike prices ranging from $5 to $18 a share. The company said the deal could be worth as much as $65 million; but note that FriendFinder closed Friday at $2.71, which means the stock portion of the deal is worth just $4.3 million, with the resent dependent on the performance of FFN?s stock in the months and years ahead.
Based in Los Angeles, JigoCity has about 150 employees, and operates sites in Australia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. According to FriendFinder, JigoCity had revenue of about $600,000 in July and $1.1 million in August, and now has over 1 million members.



they are not stupid they are diversifying into games and daily deals sites. they will be around for a long time.
I am pretty sure they lost $15mil on jigocity and sold it back to the previous company for $1
