Statement from the Max Hardcore staff...

Hi everyone,
Boy have have we had some excitement around here. In short the FBI servered Max World Entertainment with a warrant to search the premises. And seize evidence concerning 5 titles that Max World Entertainment produces. This was only a search, no one here got arrested, abused or detained, thankfully. The only abuse was to our carpet when a FBI agent accidently discharged his shootgun into our floor. WTF, dont they take classes before they are given a weapon.
There has been no declaration that any material that we own or content we provide to our customers is illegal or that we have broken any laws. I guess the DOJ feels that it is better to interupt our business in order to satisfy theirs.
To our CCBill affiliates we apologise for the site being down but it was truly out of our control since they confiscated our back ups as well.
We appriciate the patience and understanding of our processor CCBill and Hosting Company (Power Medium) for their help in getting us up and running again.
I spoke to Max today and he wanted to make it clear that "Max World Entertainment is going to fight this tooth and nail and will not back down without a fight." Max's greeting from Barcelona to the FBI is "Fuck You". It should have been "Go Fuck Yourself" but thats the quote he gave me.
Max will be coming out with another statement when he returns.
Max also wants to thank all the webmaster and industy professionals for all the support on the message boards and he understands that many may not like his content but our First Amendment rights are at stake. And he is proud that so many webmasters support him in that respect.
Thank you
