WS banks are not getting a good press at the moment. So what's the odds they will make a 9 figure cash loan to a porn company with a string of sites like Manwin has? I can think of one company not a million miles from WS who would love to know about this NYT is the initials you're looking for.

Forget about the spreadsheets, forecasts, collateral, etc. Think of the headlines.

WALL STREET BANKERS
LOAN ONLINE
PORN COMPANY
$200,000,000 IN CASH.

Now does that sound like something WS is going to get into in 2010?

Mainstream Internet with tangible goods, very likely. To a company with no record of this retail market on or offline? Not likely.
