    FriendFinder Says It's Facing Delisting on Nasdaq

    Nasdaq warned FriendFinder that the value of its publicly traded shares dipped below $15 million for 30 days and its stock price fell below $1 for 30 days, both grounds for delisting.
    FriendFinder traded Friday on the Nasdaq at 23 cents a share.

    What happens if you have stocks in a company that gets delisted? Not that I do of course, just curious.

        If they are given the opportunity by the exchange to come into compliance and do so it may be relisted but more likely it will be relisted in a smaller exchange or the pink sheets with the rest of the penny stocks. Often companies will do a reverse stock split in order to boost their share price to get back into compliance.

            They'll simply do a reverse split to have a higher share price to get them by for some period of time.

                        First of all, their listing on the NASDAQ has fuck all to do with how big they are or how much revenue they generate.

                        Second, Hustler and Playboy are both fucked financially. Not good examples of "going mainstream and succeeding".

                        Edit: spot on you old codger.

                                  The class actions might be a warning to many. Once this one goes through and the lawyers win. Then the next fake dating site is put in the cross hairs. These companies are sitting ducks. Get a couple of dozen of pissed off members, fake profiles, fake emails, fake geo targeting screen grabs. Play the victim up as a trusting single person who thought it was all genuine. Then goes for damages. Both financial and emotional damages here to be counted.

                                  Maybe Wall Street was wise to more than ST thinks.

                                    lawsuits have already happened. obviously the ftc knows and don't give a fuck about dating sites.

                                    they have their hands full with payday loans, get rich, money making scams and dangerous and fraudulent diet product claims right now. raven riley on a dating site i'm sure is low on their priorities.

                                      You wait until you get a letter that says they've changed names and are using what money they have left to "invest" with (ie: keep a few board members in a salaried job). Then you sell them for next to nothing in a year where it benefits you to write off the capital losses.

                                        Profiles are a dating sites "inventory" ... Depending on fake inventory to boost the value of a company being publicly traded will not end well.

                                        .

                                          most dating sites have it in their tos that profiles may be fake anyway.

                                          aff has had disclaimers on their banners for like 5 years now.

                                            the only fake profiles on AFF are ones created by users pretending to be someone they arn't. This is almost impossible to stop, but it's a small percentage of the total. I'd honestly say less then 2 or 3%. thinking about that from a user perspective, it's meaningless. I use AFF as a swinger, and the vast majority of profiles in the swinging community are in fact real. I'm not saying some creep doesnt' make a fake profile of a girl sometimes cause they get off on it, it happens, but from my usage of the site, it's pretty much all legit.

                                            Bottom line - using AFF as a swinging couple, you WILL meet people and you will get laid. If a fat bastard like me can hook up with hundreds of hot wives in couples though it, anyone can. It works, better then any other site out there.

                                            I pray they can sort out this paperwork issue, but I'm of the feeling they're fighting in a world that has a lot of prejudice against them because of the adult connections to the business. Fact is, AFF pays, and better then most other things out there, still, after 15 years.

                                            but haters will hate....

                                              Some of their sites like "alt" are saturated with fake profiles.

                                              .

                                                      read any consumer reviews of the aff sites. they have a different take than the brogasm which made this thread suddenly sticky.

                                                        I would have sent them more traffic if they didn't make you meet the minimum payout on every site. I always thought that was somewhat shady. But their checks always good.

It's over for FFN as this was a massive stock/money grab. The Lawyers will go over the financial submitted and then go after the accountant who "certified" the auditing to get the IPO, who'll then roll and say FFN lied on their financials. The lawyers will then try to recover what they can as they toss the bad financials to the SEC on the way out.

                                                            Anyway, we all knew AFF needed money, knew they'd never be what they were, knew profiles we fake, as they made a last ditch effort to grab what they could as that ship sank. Again, how could you NOT hedge against their stock, as I'd bet they also did by proxy?
                                                            Sorry I thought you were talking about a class action on the dating scams. Is there another one?

                                                              AFF just seems like a poorly run company. Their debt is burying them alive. Ive always liked Lars though. I hope he got out on top.

Just try and remember the people involved in this clusterfuck because once they've cashed out leaving some poor schmuck holding the bag, they'll be back to tout some new venture and how it was all someone else's fault.

                                                                    It means that your shares will soon evaporate to about .0001 cents.

I'm not saying that's what happened, as I haven't been following the stock or the company, but it is possible.
