The numbers just don't add up... of course I don't know how many years they were doing this.. but look at their numbers to the amount of business someone like IBILL did in total.

Perhaps they were also using the business to "launder" money so not all of the revenue wasn't genuinely from surfers?

Brad, the same goes with content. Your thinking about a real business model where you have to have content to sustain a transaction. This was fraud, Crescent didnt have to put up high quality content because they planned on charging cards multiple times under many, many different billing descriptors. They didnt care about anything but getting more names and more credit card numbers.
