Marc Bell selling his Star Trek house

http://www.businessinsider.com/marc-...k-house-2014-5

Now we know where that IPO $$ went. How very tastefully done.

However I will say..

Adding the original door opening/closing sounds was a nice touch.

I would love to live there of course - However, I think you could do better with $35M to spend - Must be the location boosting the price...

That house looks like a fucking fun place to party, god damn

27k sq feet. My house is 3k, there are three of us, and we have entire rooms we never use. What the fuck can you do with 27k sq feet?

he surely likes soup

Douchebags Marc Bell and Dan Staton

Quote:

Hockey?s Florida Panthers co-owner Jordan Zimmerman and high-profile philanthropist Al Malnik have filed a lawsuit to recoup their investment into what they thought was a company with thousands of XXX-rated websites.

Usually, folks sue after they find out their cash is supporting porn!

Not these guys: Advertising exec Zimmerman and Malnik, the original owner of the Miami Beach restaurant The Forge, claim in court papers they each gave about $1 million in 2008 to well-known Boca Raton businessmen Marc Bell and Dan Staton for use in their network of websites, FriendFinder Networks.

FriendFinder runs 40,000 sites that cater to 500 million users looking for dates, or looking for excitement with swingers, sadomasochists and married folks, among other tastes.

Thing is, according to the lawsuit filed in a Palm Beach County circuit court: Bell and Staton allegedly didn?t put the money into FriendFinder as planned but into a new company they were trying to buy, and failed, according to the lawsuit.

There was supposed to be a 25-plus percent interest on Zimmerman?s and Malnik?s money if certain conditions were met, according to the paperwork.

Three years after receiving their dough, Bell and Staton told Zimmerman and Malnik that their money vanished into the deposit for the new company they claim they?d never heard of.

But since Bell and Staton couldn?t raise enough money the buy it outright, Zimmerman and Malnik were out a million bucks each.

?It was bait and switch,? said David Goldstein, the plaintiffs? lawyer. ?They were investing in FriendFinder, and they ended up unknowingly investing somewhere else. They just want their money back.?

They?re out of luck, said attorney Gerry Richman, who reps Bell and Staton.

?This was a sophisticated transaction that was fully documented. The investors took their chances. Nobody was deceived,? Richman said.

Was curious where all that iBill money disappeared to... :winkwink: :disgust

I'm guessing that you didn't bring up Marc Bell's prominent roles in the iBill/Penthouse debacle, or his attempt to takeover FFN and take it public (which was a monumental failure) - FFN was never profitable under Bell's leadership; regardless he and his cronies profited handsomely off of one of the original companies most responsible for underwriting many of the piracy sites that have decimated the industry.

Another Marc Bell pipe dream that never happened...like his bid to takeover Playboy

If your only dealings with Marc Bell are that he bought you a drink, or simply smiled or acknowledged you at an industry event, then I guess he could seem like a decent enough person. :2 cents: :upsidedow

When I saw him speak at XBiz, I thought he was one of the worst speakers ever to talk at any industry show. He had serious smartest-guy-in-the-room syndrome and spent the whole time congratulating himself on being so clever and so much better than everybody else. He literally did not share one single piece of useful information.

Money does not buy charisma nor charm......This one will never have it.

I play call of duty every day, don't see the need for a room dedicated to it.

Pretty sure that is how he came up with the design. :upsidedow :winkwink:

Prolly expensed most of his toys or pinched them off one of his money losing ego companies that he afforded while driving companies into the ground and doing his part to screw over large sectors of the industry. Not unhappy to see him go. :2 cents:
