And the first thing I am going to do as the new owner, is shitcan all of the affilates involved with CP/CP terms, Zango, and stolen copyrighted content.

Next I will do away with all of the fake ads, trying to upsell everyone to cams shows, etc., and then I'll make sure that shaving of affiliates never occurs...



They probably floated the rumor themselves to drive up their value so that they can sell off before the gubermentz catches up with them...

If they're generating that kind of revenue... they'd be worth alot more than 1 billion

Not really. Anyone looking at the business model can see that (a) it has high reported revenues, and (b) it has high reported advertising costs (including affiliates). The true net number is A-B, the net revenue after acquisition costs. I suspect that number is about 50% of the total revenue, if not more.

My predictions if sold: Webmaster payouts drop like a rock, the program is simplified and shrunk, the torrent and other legally questionable sites will get cut off, and all those bros that sat here sucking on Lars' dick will end up with a huge paycut while Lars is off counting is part of the haul.
