I am in the worst position of my Life, thanks to MCP Entertainment/Misguided Media...
 

For those of you who know don't know me, my name is Donnie Adamson and I am the FORMER Online Marketing and Affiliate Programs Director of MCP Entertainment (Owner of MisguidedMedia). The reason I say former is that the company has not contacted me since the New York City Webmaster Access show which I paid out of my own pocket to attend and promote the program.

Approximately 5 months ago when myself and Latin Teen Cash ended our projects together, MCP Entertainment had the "CashIn3D" affiliate program with a 70% revshare, and contacted me in regards to marketing their affiliate program and paysite Bangin3D.com.

Throughout negotiations of my employment I percieved quite a large amount of "non winning program features" within the program and gave them a program layout that in my eyes would be successful.

Those things included but were not limited too a complete program rebranding, complete paysite rebranding and redesign, affiliate tool setup, hosting setup (as they were on an ASP backend for some CRAZY reason), programming (myself and others), complete project management from content organization, hosting setup, backend installations, subdomain setup, cascades, cross sales, traffic, affiliate management, everything from A-Z.

Well, after all that, 2 paysites, and so forth, I have literally been fucked in the ass with a sand paper dildo and have been thrown out like the trash.

After the launch of Misguided Media and Bangin3D.com I should have realized that the company was not as "reliable" as they had shown themselves to be. The outsourcing company for our designer at hand had contacted me as the owner of the company was "unreachable" yet he conversed with me every day. After the account became 2 months overdue with the outsourcing company they cut the designer.

Thats where my job grew even more. I officially became the companies server admin, marketing director, full time designer, programmer, affiliate manager, project manager, sales director, and yadda yadda yadda. I did all of this for 600 dollars per week and not once complained about my salary. Immediately after the launch of HDPornKings (which i advised against the branding but was told to do so anyhow) I took my own money that I had earned from building this program and two paysites and purchased my plane ticket (well had MCP entertainment purchase my plane ticket and keep my funds) to the NYC Webmaster Access show. I also used my own money to pay for my hotel in staten island due to the steep prices of the city itself, the pass, and all my expenses during the trip. I was literally working 15-18 hour days monday through sunday when all of those in the office in chatsworth had weekends off. I busted my ass more than anybody.

Let's get a little deeper into this as well. I left Romania with 700 dollars in my pocket, as the company had promised to have my funds waiting upon my arrival to the USA. Well it wasnt there when I arrived, and for the first 2 days I managed on 700 bucks including my hotel, 200 dollar admission to the show, and expenses back and forth from staten island, then I went broke, and was stranded.

At this point, I had lost it and was stranded. Fortunately Harmik from Epoch helped me out and I also picked up a another tattoo which really helped me out. With that being said, I finally recieved my pay (2 days late) and was ok. I finished the show, made good business and the "war" so to speak to me was worth it (thanks for your traffic guys).

I then came up to connecticut and rhode island to see family and friends that I hadn't seen in 2 years and talked to the owners my first day back and began hitting up my contacts. I decided to take the weekend off and started on monday. No contact, tuesday, no contact, wednesday (payday) no contact. I have been exhausting every means of contacting the company and owners since my start back last monday. Well, its now tuesday morning, 6 days after I was supposed to be paid, and there has been not even a message sent to me.

I have also missed my flight back to Romania where all of my belongings, clothes (besides those brought with me) my puppy, computer, EVERYTHING is still there. I have exhausted all of my funds, and have hit the most bottom point of my life. I missed my flight on my own behalf. I did leave 6 hours prior to my flight, however due to NYC traffic I was gridlocked and missed my flight.

Immediately after missing my flight I tried to call the owners of MCP/Misguied Media to rebook it so I could at least make it back to my home, well, no reply, and I cant do anything as its booked under their credit card.

Consider this my resignation. You have left me broke without a computer, a care, or a hope in the world and I have lost everything that I have gained due to you "avoiding" me and your companies responsibilities. In all honesty, I wish you would have just spoken with me so I would have at least some type of closure and been able to move on before having absolutely nothing but clothes in a bag sleeping on my buddies couch in a basement with everything dear to me halfway across the world. I have absolutey nothing, and nobody to help me, but its cool, I know I have what it takes and the dedication to put my life back together.

I am not leaving the adult industry, yes I may have to work some "real world" jobs until I get back on my feet, but for those of you who really do know me, and know how dedicated I am, I won't be down for long. I am seeking employment from this point on and will be posting a formal resume by this time tomorrow, and I am also willing to relocate anywhere. If you need references, I have them all day from Program Managers, personal contacts, affiliates, whatever.if you need any odd jobs done...sites made/blogs installed....anything hit me up asap, i'm a hell of a hard worker...& just down on my luck because some company decided to strand 5,000 miles away from home.

I just figured I would give the majority of the story so everyone knows to avoid doing business with MCP Entertainment and Misguided Media from this point on, as I don't even think they will pay out now that I am not there. AFFILIATES STOP SENDING TRAFFIC NOW and send it somewhere where you can trust you will be paid, odds are if they fucked me, they will fuck you too.

Thanks for your time guys and best regards.

First...

Dude i gotta say I'm fucking pissed off.

Who the fuck sends an Employee 5,000 miles from home & then strands them without a paycheck.

That's lower than fucking low. That is outright disgusting.

Sorry that happened to ya Big_D...but this will make you even tougher.

Talk about the worst situation i could even imagine. You got some serious restraint. Because I'd be on a bus to Chatsworth or whatever right now with a baseball bat.

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP BRO!

:error :Oh crap

man someone should scoop you up, your mad dedicated. You would be a great member of a strong team.

Ouch, shitty situation

yea he really is a good guy....these companies just keep exhausting his contacts & fucking him over...because they know he is good-natured & they can get away with it probably...he's a hell of a nice guy

lots of companies do that kind of shit....but leaving someone stranded in another country

thats down right FUCKING RIDICULOUS and no one should ever have something like that happen to them.....WTF!!!!

this is possibly the most infuriating thing I've ever heard about happen in this business...his dogs back at home too....omg...i would HURT someone

WHOA! I wasn't expecting this at all!! WTF? Good luck man, that sucks ass.

damn, that's some fucked off shit. Best of luck to you Big D, I know you will bounce back stronger then before.

I wanna see some love in this thread. If you got an odd-job, or some sort of gig ya need done quick to help D get back on his feet...toss it over his way. He will get it done quick & right the first time.

Give your outsourcers a break tonight & help a real good guy jump right back up on his feet.

I'll be tossing him some gigs this week.

What kind of payment method can you take at the moment D...I'm sure you didn't bring all your cards & shit for the show...I know you weren't planning on being stranded by some ass-hat company.

Big D,

That's one fucked up scenario bro. Hit me up on ICQ man, if you are willing to come out to Los Angeles I can provide you with an office to work in during the day. Let me know if that would be of interest to you, there are a few other things I'd rather talk straight to you about over ICQ. Maybe we can help each other.

Wow, now THAT is fucked up. Surely someone on GFY will help you get home at least.

Thanks for all the words pr0, I've got epass brotha, i can handle anything pretty much, from design, script installations, integrations, marketing, minor programming, as well as project managemnt marketing etc.....

already on it

wow man thats shitty as fuck but from here on out it only gets better!
next time make sure your boss is a reliable person and not some half-assed jackass.

I wish I was ready to hire you! Good luck.

Shit like this is unheard of. The guys at Misguided Media need to smarten up and hit Donnie off with $20k+ for his troubles and save whatever dignity they might have left after a thread like this. Unbelievable.

Best of luck to you, man.

BTW, what sites do MCP/Misguided Media operate? I know I've heard of them before...

hit up my ICQ man, no one deserves this. I'll come up with something you can do, if it can help you get home or something.

I remember once, I went downtown as a teenager and lost my wallet, had no way to get on the bus or anything...felt fucking stranded...can't even imagine how you must feel!

fuck this sucks ash........... wish u all the best Big D........hopefully you'll get back on track as soon as possible.....

God damn... what a predicament they got you into. It sucks to think that a company would do this to someone.

bump for big deez!

Wow... so much of that sounds SO FAMILIAR to me. I really feel for you. You have it way worse than I did though. I managed to avoid the stranding at least. Good luck to you.

Wow, can't believe that shit. If you are good in pr0's books you are good in mine. Hit me up, I'll see what we can do!

He's going to be just fine though. People are going to snatch him up quick...he's a real hard worker.

Dayum.

Arent you the guy with Adult company Tat's?
Well anyways I hope you recoup what a fucked up story.

Keep in mind alot of companies are like this, they will fuck you over given the chance. Learn from this mano, it's a tough one but I genuinely wish you luck!

With Pr0 at your side I am sure ya will get something goin fast:)

dude, I can not believe how low this is. I hope you get snatched up soon man, you deserve to be part of a good team, and people you can trust.

very few people in this biz work like big_d does. i've had the chance to work with him a lot over the last few months. his work ethic is second to none. if something needs to get done he gets it done period. any affiliate program would be lucky to get someone like him to work for them. :2 cents:

Thats the bad part of being employed :) . As affiliate you can choose with who you work :thumbsup.

I have meet Donnie 8 months ago (thanks to gfy).

Since i know how was his life here in Romania in the past 6 months since he started with Misguided Media, i can tell you these:

- i never see a guy working so hard. Dude, you are crazy! 8 to 14 hours each day!! I think in the past 2 months you even dont get out in weekends.

- the passion for things you made its simply amazing. I don't think i will ever meet a guy that do things with such dedication.

BTW, i was present when Donnie handled all stuff he said.

I have no idea who this company is....& i usually don't jump the gun on the merits of a company due to an employee decision. However, leaving a person stranded in another country without their payment is unacceptable.

I hope they come forward & make this right....In a timely fashion.

Ok I've said my peace.....good luck donny & i know you'll come through all this.

Donnie, I am sorry to hear this has happened to you! the way they have treated you fucking sucks ... it's impossible 2 keep you down, and they have possibly made the worst mistake they ever could by doing this to one of the most creative and hardest workers they could ever have ... go figure!!!

Donnie this sucks man. But reading all the posts above gives me the feeling you'll be back on your feet in no time. All the best buddy!

Ouch! That sucks!!! :Oh crap

Good luck Big-D...

ADG

that sucks man, hit me up on icq and i might be able to get some blog work together for you. i have a few projects sitting around that need closing up.

Not at all, I branded the affiliate program after my tattoo, the program itself is the copy (-:

sorry that happened to you. I wish you all the best.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh good one man - it was good meeting you in NYC. best of luck getting a new gig quickly:thumbsup

Really worse situation, but why the fuck do you work for $600 a week with such a responsibility for the programm? thats just $2.4000/month which turns out to be 1.500EUR a month.. Even the housemaid at my parentshouse earns more then that..

honestly pr0, he kind of reminds me of you.
