    How come AdultFriendFinder only sold for 500M?

    this is digging up the past but i was wondering if the sale included ALT.com, Cams.com etc...the whole network

    i mean they were huge and still are the biggest

    in my eyes it should have gone for 2x that

    you hold so much power with a network like that, even AFF alone...

    Why are you actively posting again? You were outed for running warez sites and other shady shit.

        Maybe those who bought had access to their books. And realise the way things are heading. Usually people spending that kind of money look into everything.

            Pointing out that you're a con artist scumbag? Yup, that's stalking



            This douchebag monetizes warez and cp traffic. No one even needs to guess what he's been "busy" working on

                        let me explain it slowly for you...

                        if you were to type lalalalala into the search field, that would show on our results as real but we dont have it and also appear in the last searches and gets cached by google

                        i would never promote or encourage cp so go fuck yourself

                        the site didnt have anything like that anywhere

                                            500M , that's a huge amount. When it comes to so much money it's hard to say whether its 600M or 500M or what. It's all a huge amount, isn't it.

                                                              How? is that a script? Hook a nigga up!

But you could type 9ujlkseoilknls into the search and it would show you downloads for it lol. Just needed some filters added to stop some of the bad false searches.
