can you say adult internet gossip?
from lukeford (long, but hilarious):
Quote:
Gary Kremen now lives in Stephen Michael Cohen's home in San Diego. Last year, Kremen won back the domain name Sex.com from Cohen.
"Before Cohen turned over the house, he trashed it," says a source. "He took all the wiring out. All the toilets. All the shower doors. He took the trees, the garbage disposals, the deep freezes. Despite a court order. He's still a wanted fugitive."
Nobody knows where Cohen lives. He appeared for the first time in years last week on Serge's board Ooooooooooo to bash Cohen's lawyer Suzanne.
"Cohen is as evil as ever. He popped up in his ugly evil hardhitting style. He called Suzanne a c--- a dozen times."
Kevin Blatt is Kremen's neighbor.
Ron Levi has gone on the Atkins Diet and lost about 30 pounds. He's cut off his ponytail. He seems happily settled into his new relationship. His daughter just graduated from college with a degree in psychology. He seems calmer. He seems to have relaxed his iron grip on his company. He seems disappointed in his posting board. It's turned into in-house back patting.
Credit Levi with IGallery's demise. When Levi switched to per-active member, they couldn't keep up. IGallery is all but shut down. New Frontier is suing for corporate fraud and misrepresentation. New Frontier is asking to have their IGallery purchase undone based on fraud.
CEN settled their suit with AOL. JoeE aka Joseph Elkind got locked out of the company. He came to work one day and all the works were changed. And John Bennett (JB) and Steve Workman were inside and he was outside. JB ran the company anyway. JoeE was just CEN's marketing man, throwing parties and making people feel good about sending their traffic to CEN.
CEN withheld money from JoeE. They stopped paying him. So JoeE had to come up with his own money to fight them while they fight you with your money.
JoeE got into big trouble by trashing JB's house. He threw JB's furniture into the lake. It was all caught on video security cameras. JoeE is bar tending for the Connections strip club.
There was a recent interview by phone with Serge, Ron Levi and JoeE. Serge kept saying, 'JoeE, where's the money? You said you make $70 million a year. Some of that has to have gone into your pocket.' JoeE couldn't account for it.
RJB Telcom walked away from the FTC lawsuit with a slap on the hand. Theodore Monroe spearheaded RJBT's legal defense, not Greg Picconelli. Theo now seeks more work in the adult industry.
All these companies like Pornication and Wired Solutions have been throwing out partners. The business is turning dog eat dog. The time of big bloat is over. The parties are smaller. There's not as much excess.
SE Guru only lasted four months running Sex.com. He's now the VP of marketing for New Frontier. SE Guru used to work for Pat Robertson and the Christian Broadcasting Network.
The Sweet Entertainment Group in Canada has broken up. They were raided in April. Charles Carreon, who spearheaded Kremen's suit against Cohen, went to work for the Sweets but that didn't last long. Carreon still has a suit with Kremen.
I visisted sex.com and it popped about six annoying browsers on me.
