To TampaToker and Ragingbucks Crew
 

They weren't obligated to take the Zoey Zane site down, no one probably would have thought any less of them if they left the site up, but they did so out of respect for the performer and her friends and family during this difficult time.

There is a national morbid curiosity that they could have easily profited from, especially with the even bigger blitz these past few days once her adult occupation became public knowledge.

I just want to say I have the utmost respect for you guys. What you did was classy, and it goes a long way in my book.

:thumbsup

Agreed ..... :thumbsup

:thumbsup

Congrats to the winners then.

very true :thumbsup

New respect for TampaToker for sure.

That kind of caring is uncommon in this business.

Ditto. Actions speak louder than words and that action spoke volumes if you ask me.

Yeah, that's right. :)

400,000 uniques a day is going to help out with the cause!

Yes, Raging Bucks has class and did the right and honorable thing!
Hopefully they catch the guy soon...

Very nice to see they don't slap some links on it to some other teen sites to make a buck out of it

Respec Dog. Respec.

No really. Nice work. Shows a lot of class.

Tampa can't even keep up...The media is out of control, X-biz even writes a story on it all, and it seems to me their just adding fuel to the fire. More and more pictures just keep popping up everywhere, the poor girl only has a website for a short amount of time.

It's not like she was the #1 selling solo girl out there, but they have her as being this hard-core college girl, that lead this secret night life online....as if the internet isn't a 24/7 deal. The media has even made the invesigation harder for the police, her poor family has been slammed with all this.

Tons of people trying to make money of this, god I can't believe what money does to people.

blahhhhh....

Totally :thumbsup

very very true.

Good job TT and Raging Bucks :thumbsup

It demonstrates there is still a professional attitude in this industry - accompanied by good judgement and management during this scenario.

Hat off to you TT!

Class move by TT.

Thank you for the kind words everyone. Sorry i have not been posting much but i am sure you all know why. Ever since the story broke about Zoeys adult career i have been fighting with most of the media outlets to get the wrong facts removed and most of the major news have corrected the info. Now its the smaller media outlets i am having trouble with. I have tried vigorously to get them to remove the title porn star but they are saying since she masturbated on video its considered porn.

I am very pissed off with the Associated Press with doing a piss poor job of what should of been responsible journalism. I spoke to the news writer that took the statement of this "David Thomas" and she said his facts checked out with is complete and utter bullshit. Then i had to do a few thing to prove i was who i was then they believed me. They killed the news press and sent out bulletins out to everyone. But by then the damage has all ready been done.


The bank account has been setup for the reward fund for the capture of Isreal Mireles. I wanted it to get it up sooner but there was several things we had to do on the banking side. Bank Of America has a special unit i guess you would call it that handles these types of things. We will be updating zoeyzane.com in a few hours with the reward detail.


Once again i thank everyone for the kind words and support we are receiving from the adult community. I know a lot of you have posted your support and sent emails to which i have not had a chance to reply too.

you are not kidding, lots of people would have signed up to " see the dead girl naked". Which is sick. We are all here to make money but I think a few things transcend $ and come down to human decency, this being one of those things. Just like not scamming or stealing from someone says a lot about your character, so do actions like this. At the end of the day some times haven done the right thing is worth more than having a few extra bucks in your pocket. :2 cents:

good for you tt on your blitz of that media bullshit

everything she did would be considered mainstream in europe.

rip.

Excellent thread!!!

It's good for us to acknowledge people that do the right thing in this biz, and put people before profit...kudos to TampaToker and the good people at RagingBucks! :thumbsup

ADG

Tampa I feel for you man and ya you did the proper thing. I did try to warn you to get the story out yourself before the press caught on. Damage control so to speak. Though keep fighting man you should be able to gain some control and divert focus where it should be.

Props to Toker , he is one of the true stand up guys in the industry:thumbsup Sorry to hear about ya having hassles with the press mate:(

Johnny is one of the very few i trust that I work with and am friends with online. For those of you who know me then you know that says a lot about his character.

The worst of it is that the media tries to make her out to be less of a victim, and tries to put a moral spin on it. They know her job had nothing to do with the crime, yet they try to sell the story with words like "porn star" to garner attention. I feel so sorry for the family.

Nice Job on taking the site down quickly. Class act!

Very good gesture..

and she was only in the industry for a couple months, working on a solo girl site and it sounds like she only did a couple solo girl sets. But that = porn star ????? And to make it even worse companies like AVN keep recycling the same shit press and pass it off as their own and they don't even take the time to correct the " porn star" part. We all know that they know better than that. I guess they were to lazy to take the 10 seconds to edit the story and it was easy to copy and paste the AP's articles.

I couldn't agree more. It is nice to know there are people like this in the industry.

Not only did they pull the site down and put up pics and info to catch the guy...But they told the media to basically fuck off and grow up.

Gotta love that too.

Mad respect for how they have handled this publicly. :thumbsup

They are a class act.
Shows who they are and what kind of people you would be dealing with them you meet them.
Ashamed but this is the type of stuff you don't hear about in the media.
The media will try to make her out to be a "dirty" person not how people in this industry looked out for her family and have the biggest respect for her friend and family.
The main stream media will try to make her and this industry look like shit because that is what sells.
Shame on mainstream for not telling the truth.

you all guys right! tampa and rest of the crew of the ragingbucks really a great guys... i am very lucky to work with them... i myself dont read those article written by the press... as i am only trust tampa for this kind of situation... he really doing great for ragingbucks... thanks to you tampa and you guys who see tampa and ragingbucks efforts on how to help zoey and family...

:thumbsup great work buyddy

i am proud to call john a friend.. he is a top notch guy and i think this unfortunate situation has been handles with the utmost professionalism...

im just a dumb schmuck---but why not point the traffic to a charity site---or use the site to collect charity for abused woman---that would probably makr her proud if she was alive

I agree 100%.
