40 employees (again going waaaayyy cheap) at $12 per hour x 40 hours a week = $76,800 (this is a drastically low guess)

already running a deficit without adding in any of the other overhead, and it would be considerable. AND he's been in business 15 months. (I doubt anyone is going to run a $50,000-$100,000 deficit for 12-15 months on paysites and still decide to keep it going...

No affiliate section to speak of and he says he does 10 + minute vids on youporn so no affiliate payments.

traffic leaks, playboy pop ups etc.

Right now on some of the sites, I can't even get to the actual join page to fill in information.

Alexa rankings that are no where near what you would need to do those numbers of sales. (yes, i know alexa sucks, but it gives you at least an idea of traffic.)

I have no dog in this fight, but just based on what he's saying, it's all over the place and doesn't add up, so if he's lying about those numbers.....well you get the idea.

Carry on.
We have grown the staff as the company grew. And we only expanded as new sites revenues came in and gave us the revenues to fund further growth. I got my initial investment back the same year I made it, in 2011. The company has been in the black ever since. With a solid business model, and careful financial planning, there is no need to ever run at a deficit.

You way over estimate the cost of a scene. We shoot all of our content in Eastern Europe. We dont pay USA prices. Therefore you can knock off $1k from your estimate per scene quite comfortably. That alone puts me in the black
