AFF always manages to be engulfed in drama and fraud. How odd. How legendary of them.

The Adult Broker 03-10-2008 06:35 PM

That should make for an interesting notation in their IPO filing.

Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life 03-10-2008 07:51 PM

when this was mentioned a little while ago people were making it sound like the lawsuit coming out was over providing advertising to support illegal content distributors. what a let down. does anyone seriously think penthouse would jus tgo out on a limb and do something stupid like this expecting to not catch some backlash? they obviously wanted aff to themselves. they took it, and i'm sure a $20 million lawsuit isn't going to hurt them too badly. you won't see any change in aff do to this alone...

DatingGold 03-10-2008 07:58 PM

$20 million on a billion $ deal isnt a big deal.. by the time the settle its more like 3 million.

gandalfuy 03-10-2008 08:05 PM

doesnt look good at all.

madfuck 03-10-2008 08:11 PM

boneprone 03-10-2008 08:39 PM

Im with these guys. Fuck Penthouse!

http://slb.careercast.com/files/jobd.../46a0f9852.gif

They hire minorities!

Two blacks, and Asian, a woman, and a Tranny.

What other team is so diverse?

JA$ON 03-10-2008 08:42 PM

Means almost nothing. It will drag out for 2 yrs, then end in a small settlment. Its almost impossible to do any sort of deal that involves multiple parties on this scale without a number of lawsuits....it just cost of doing business.

JenniDahling 03-10-2008 08:44 PM

wtf... that is crazy news!

SleazyDream 03-10-2008 08:46 PM

just a hunch but I'm betting with ipo s and such it's some retard lawyer on an extortionist scam thinking he can get a quick buck. My thoughts are it's more of a 'pay us now to shut up and settle or we'll make this more public and problems for you even though it's total bullshit' kind of thing.

SleazyDream 03-10-2008 08:48 PM

safeway is fucking HUGE.

if that holding company DOES own safeway - wow.

not sure if safeway would want the media to know they were looking at buying the largest porn company in the world..........

Mutt 03-10-2008 08:49 PM

dude above me is right - when you're in biz at that level lawsuits are just a cost of doing business - BUT if Penthouse thinks it's doing an IPO they are delusional - it's a dog with fleas, has been a dog with fleas and will always be one. I want an IPO to be successful because I will sell that thing short big time. Penthouse management doesn't even understand its' core business nevermind the businesses they just bought.
