Very much so.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to dig another hole in the desert and I've just eaten a big plate of canolli and I can't be bothered, Capishe?

Of course there is, but probably no more than any other business. Since the shift of the business to the web there is less organized crime ... but a TON more disorganized criminals and flat out idiots.


Part of the anonymity of the net.

No the union does not exist and it is not organized by boneprone :2 cents:

I've been doing this since 1994 and I haven't noticed anything.

I have read articles in ny news papers when organized crime members were indicted, that they were involved with internet porn. This was probably 5-6 years ago. If there is money, they will be there, that is for sure.

it wouldnt surprise me.

i dont think so anymore.. identity theft is much more profitable... think about it... get one good identity theft is worth $1000's..

there was def some criminals back when you could make a mil a month spamming, but those days are gone...

I would think more affiliated with hookers and shit more than playing with computers...

They go where the easy money is. I would think they would be more involved in stock market manipulation...

What about the recent increase in fraud?

Obviously an easy way to launder money... shooting content, paying in cash and cashing in real bank money $$$s...

There is no such thing as the mafia.

no...never

the mob hates easy money

Me and several other old timers could say things in this very thread right here that would at the minimum earn us a knock on the door and a stern warning. Hell, go look up some old Luke Ford articles lol...

mmmmm.. great new laundering niche :)

"bilked consumers out of more than $650 million."

Damn..... :helpme

Let me repeat myself as I've done over and over again...

The biggest overall affiliate in the xxx business are the guys behind the "video codec trojan"

These guys are generating, according to my estimate, hundreds and hundreds of sales a day...

Here's a sample of one of their pages... which they redirect to from galleries they submit to YOUR TGP..

DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING

http://www.xxx[remove_this]tubeforfree.com/porn/main[remove_this]stream.php

They install their trojan on TONS of new computers every single day.. a trojan which steals all your traffic.. sending it to their network of sites - or even replacing your ID in the linkcode to sponsors...

this is the article i talking about in my earlier post. i can remember reading it in the ny post

Of course, any where are, there could always be bunch of crazy people around...

It wasn't me

No the mafia is not involved with porn only pervs are involved with porn

So true.

actually know a couple of escorts who launder their money thru online adult

they have customer get them a pre-paid debit card,
and they load it with their cash payments

then they just buy traffic to sites, and cash the affilate cheques.

That picture is begging to be chopped

Yes there are... :pimp

The other day I made an offer to someone they couldn't refuse.

how about giving some names
:winkwink:

Why do sponsors allow this?

pimps don't really care for the online biz because girls make more bucks on the street
