Serge Birbrair mentioned in MSNBC article helping to scam customers out of millions

This was one of the biggest scams going, read the entire acticle.

Crescent is much to blame for the VISA regs we see today, they ripped off people to the tune of $100's of millions.

Looks like Serge could be the next one whose mugshot we see. About time he paid the price for ripping off consumers.

According to Luke Ford, a pioneer blogger and keen observer of the Internet porn scene, the scheme was able to roll up such huge numbers because of deals Crescent made with two Internet traffic brokers ? Serge Birbrair and Yishai Habari ? that resulted in millions of porn-seeking surfers a day being directed to the sites.

Hehe I noticed that. Wonder howmany GFY'ers even know who he is?

brad left the money on the table

Ouch. Crescent pushed misleading billing to the max for sure.

everyone and their brother sent traffic to high society back then

good read

2nd page

I left millions on the table, by not doing biz with these guys. I just had a feeling it would bite me in the ass one day doing biz with people I knew were scamming customers.

Well its not news that current industry-heat & problems is due to a buntch of greedy fuckers...

nice article btw

That's a fuck load of money.

I remember you saying Profit Plantation's cheques are good :-)

Bottom of page 2

Everybody and their mom know how serge made his money

Even the FBI.... so I am hearing.....

Not on a such large scale as serge

Never sent them one hit.... In fact, I was traffic brokering myself back in the day 250k+ hits a day, I knew I could have made 2-3x as much doing biz with them, but I decided not to. I never got a penny from them.

rumors ... but I wouldn't be surprised ... this is the reason why I never really had any respect for serge .

The internet end only made 230 Million?

Wow! They actually could have done better if you think about it!

Many people fail to understand that the problems we have with billing started with this major scam. It has hurt the industry, and will be covered throughly in my book. Names will be named. Hopefully, many will be indicted by then.

He is serge oprano, am i right ?

yes he is ... boy ... you haven't been arround or don't know anybody do you ?

good post.

ut oh someones in trouble.

I wonder how many more fish delivery compagny somebody will open ...

There is a reason I thanked the aussie porn mafia when I won the XBIZ award this year. We reached a "business understanding".

If i were him i would not stay in the country anymore :pimp

I wasnt around back in the day.

Yishai left the US, he is no dumbie.

Luke must have a raging hard on right now, hehehehe.

there is no honor amongst thieves

I wonder if they have wine tasting parties in the Federal Penn..

Sure, wine straight from thy ANUS.

Serge doesnt have anything to worry about , but some other people might :)

Serge is worried. I hear there is a moving truck in front of his house today. :helpme

:1orglaugh

Really?

I talked to him 10 minutes ago for dinner plans this week.

Seriously Brad, you need to find another hobby.

Big operation :eek2
