The Internet changed that and at first a few had the chance to make a lot of money by selling to the few countries with the Internet. Then it changed and the over saturation of suppliers wasn't matched by the growth in buyers.

America and Europe were already buying, growth in numbers were coming from countries without the money or ability to buy. The offline buyers had moved online and that source was largely played out.

Then Youporn was created and a huge spanner hit the works. People no longer had to buy their porn fix.

Thommy is convinced that 1 million buying at 0.0005 ($500) each is worth more than 1 million buying at 1-100 at $30 ($300,000). His 100 million was a mistake I'm sure.
