Who did you loose the most money to in this business?
 

Over the years we lost $800 to one sponsor who went bust or $500 to another who fucked off.

But the bigest loss I ever had was Jim at content2die4.com

This guy takes the prize as being the biggest shit on the adult webmaster planet.

Sent over $1000 for a blowout deal and never got any content as you couldn't read a byte of it on his lousy DVD's

Promised a hard drive and got zilch

Uh, 50 emails and telephone calls later .......... :helpme

Total wanker. Is he still alive?

To any newbies, dont get caught out by this fucker

This thread prompted me post this

I Wont Say, But I Lost Tens Of Thousands

i havent "lost" any money to anyone (so far) but i have over $200 scattered around sponsors that i'll probably never see (due to min. payouts).

Lost over 10k last year, this year i'm at 700 so far.

i was ripped off once by porn star Ashley Blue for over $2000...that was the one and only time it happened...she still has not paid me to this day, even though everyone associated with her knows I am in the right

10k, still waiting for it back.
WG

haha.. oh the drama could be fun.. but wont tell

Waiting on about $30k from iBill.

ADG Webmaster

really?
explain..

lost 15k$ with a free email sponsor a while back... they just disappeared and didn't pay anybody

Win from Sincity.com still owes me $5000. Last time I posted he owed me money on the boards he called my staff and threatened to sue us for defamation. LOL! I said sure sue me, come up to Canada and bring on your badass lawyers. You still owe me $5,000 there is no disputing that.

DH

10k, maybe more i've lost track. there's a bit of hope yet since i have a steady flow of payment promises, can't say who though. :Oh crap

what is an acceptable timeframe between waiting/requesting for payment and taking it to the boards?

lol stop complaining.. lost over 50k in 2004 and from 98 to now (sepcially in the early wild west days) it adds up to a small fortune. In our yearly budgetting we calculate a 10% for scamming!

I'm pretty lucky and have got paid for pretty much everything except under a grand that ibill owes me.

Lost $2,000 to EzGreen, now AdultPlex.

And another $3,000 or so when InsiteAdult filed for bankruptcy.

Lost $600 in 04 with a partnership.

Not in this business, you haven't. You are only a sig whore.

she hired me to design her paysite www.ashleyblue.net...i had to do everything from scratch....encode, design, code, etc..

she then signed on with jmproductions and after I had all the work done she decided that she was going to leave it up to them (they still have done nothing to this day with it, in fact, it is still pointing to my server)...she paid like $500 up front and was going to give the rest when completed...never did and actually had her accountant call me to ask for her content back..hahaha...so, you don't pay me and THEN you want your content back? give me a break

I still have 3 mini dv's and a couple cds full of exclusive unrealeased ashley blue content sitting on my desk...she can have it back when she pays my ass

when you say you like what I have done, and I finish the job, i expect to be paid...i don't give a fuck if you decide not to go through with the project

i am still bitter, and I warn anyone who asks to stay away from her...she is a immature child that has not a professional bone in her body...typical porn star behaviour

This bill is at least 6 months old now... We have our collections agency after them and I am sure Win will come across this thread and probably want to sue me again. LOL!

It's a shame such a large company can't afford to pay it's bill.

DH

$3800 from MAS

Not much.. probably a little less than $1k due to chargebacks since '04. My site doesn't really get that many chargebacks.

over 1k from a program who disapeared

$1,500 - bought a site made from stolen code.

Lost a few months of income in one swell foop. Whee!

a few k all together on two models supplied by ipasak/nichecontentgurl who fucked them over literally and posted the cellphone numbers here and on other boards AND called them to stop posing so wed be stuck with a model-less single model site :)

nice guy uh

Cyberthrill still owes me a couple nice cars. I'm expecting to hear from them any day now...

Let's see..

In the late 90's ( 97 98 time frame ) got fucked for about $80k by Nick Nolter

Lost a few grand to Shawn Dolven when he forged my name to finance a nice laptop before he went to rip off others in France

Had a partnership go south, when the other partner went north with the money

Lost $100k per month when DMR bit the dust

i lost over a grand by sending traffic to sexualcash.com. i never recieved a check and when i called them i got a run around.

No comment.

$1500+ to a designer
$1000-2000 to a couple of sponsors
$50k+ partner deal gone bad

6K to one of the major sponsors.

what designer?

Insite Adult.

To myself for not being aggressive enough for the last 3 years! :( That is changing though :)

"Your secure pass to the best of the net"

$250K back in 1999, still to hard to even think about it....Argh.

close to $100K when DMR folded. Would have been more but I pulled my biz to Epoch a few months prior.

Next to that, Chris Jester (splitinfinity) took me for a few grand. He agreed to code something for me, demanded payment in advance, then never delivered. Fucker.

Haven't lost a cent yet. I feel fortunate.

Did you design a site for her and never got paid?

Was it dollars4all.com?

I also feel fortunate, sorry for your losses guys!!!!

damn, bad luck

Who was the partner anybody i know?

1100 to a designer

yup....i explained most of it above in a second post

$300 to Chris from MxDevelopemnt for a custom software deal that was sold by me to a client and Chris got paid on from the client then decided to not payout commission and offered many bullshit reasons why not to pay me for work done and the sale made.

If your reading this Chris, I know that Dan paid you from talking to him directly and all the shit you claimed he said wasnt true either when I asked him about it.

Just another angered client added to the list of people you decided to fuck over for whatever reasons that make sense in only your mind. :321GFY

$13,000 from WSB. :(

I couldn't read the dvds either he sent. Even bought a new dvdrom to see it it was my hardware clicking. Now i managed to get his content from his ftp. If you have the license i can probably help you with it.

Never got ripped off by anyone in this side of the porn business, except a few charge backs on content I know they used. But on the magazine side a couple of big ones.

Both from New Jersey and both bought a pile of second rights sets for $600 to $1,000 a set and used them and never paid me. One guy even gave me a check knowing it would bounce and post dating it. Which under the law meant I could not prosecute him.

Hounded the life out of him and turned up one morning on his doorstep with two heavies. We went to the bank and he withdrew the cash.

The other company just disappeared.

I reckon it must of been over $10K in total, but second rights is found money so no need to get to worked up over it.

Wimpy, wildside, or whatever your handle is today.... 1990? 91? lol
Hit me up on ICQ as this subject comes up again. :-)
A few grand for what? Talk to me in ICQ and let me know what the heck this has been about for the past 10 years, lol. You never tell me when I ask. :-)
