Seth Warshavsky Being Investigated
from the porn-and-fraud-together?--nah... dept
Apparently, IEG's Seth Warshavsky is being investigated. If you don't know, IEG is probably the biggest "adult" entertainment companies online, and Warshavsky is fairly well known for his publicity getting plans. Apparently, they're being investigated for credit card fraud and tax evasion. I have no idea whether or not it's true, but there have been claims in the past concerning how IEG played with their numbers when they filed to go public. I also think Warshavsky will simply use this as a way to get more publicity. Maybe we should get Techdirt investigated for credit card fraud to gain some publicity...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
