Ahoy!
Figured Id go ahead 'n post it afore AVN 'n XBiz claim they thought o' it
From MikeSouth.Com
Some background be required here fer thoise that don€™t know Fabians history. Fabian Thylmann was th' chief engineer o' affiliate trackin' software called NATS. 'twas mighty comprehensive software (still be) that was used by adult webmasters t' track 'n pay affiliates among other thin's 'n NATS had lots o' features.
Interestingly many o' th' features o' NATS would aid in exactly wha' German prosecutors 'ave accused Fabian o' doin'. NATS allows ye t' specify billers on a per country basis, 'n that obviously could include makin' sure that th' customer ne'er buys a membership from a crew in th' same country€. thus avoidin' tax. European customers fer instance could be sent outside o' th' EU t' buy thar membership.
It also works in th' other direction€ hirin' €œamateur€ cam operators in Germany, then payin' them through an offshore crew rather than payin' them directly in Germany. 'tis done specifically t' avoid employment taxes 'n all th' legal responsibilities ('n contract law implications) that exist if they were t' do business directly. By movin' it offshore, they can pretty much dictate th' terms o' th' contract, claim t' nah be liable fer workplace or taxation issues, 'n generally ignore local law.
This explains an ghastly lot€like why Manwin doesn€™t send checks t' performers (or anyone really) instead they get wire transfers from banks outside th' USA. Tney use this same structure through all o' thar companies.
Manwin has got t' be sweatin' bullets o'er Fabians indictment€I told ye 'tis goin' t' shine light into th' corners where th' cockroaches are€.'tis comin'.
'n if Th' FSC has a lick o' sense they best be makin' sure thar books are squeaky swab too 'cause Manwin be th' only thin' that has kept them afloat th' last few years.
Im reminded o' an ole John Cougar Melloncamp chanty€.When Th' Walls Come Crumblin' Down€
