What happened to MarcDE from ARS???

What happened to this rich guy with 10 Ferraris ??

He did like 50 million dollars with his program ARS (which seems dead now)..

It seems they get bored with so much money and they retire from business? or is he the owner of some other program?

I believe some chick named "Beckie or Becky" bought out the ARS program (she posts on JBM). Or at least that is what it says on her XBiz profile. She had bought out the program a few years back.

One of my old models used to work there, they are across town from me. They are still around. To what level of past lore or success I do not know. But I know they still have a staff, and doing business.

ARS is still around and doing fine. They relaunched with a lot of sites last year, and recently launched hdpays.com, and hdpornstreams.com and hdporntv.com and have a few other things going on as well.

Becky is Marc's sister and she now owns/operates the program.

Marc runs a video game development company responsible for the Savage series:

If I remember correctly,

Becky owned the program.. sold it to Marc.. then a few year later Marc sold it back to Becky.

I'm not sure if most of Marc's wealth was ARS related or not.

Isn't Becky his wife? Sounds like a weird transaction if that's the case.

Yeah, Marc mentioned at it's peak they were doing over 3k sales per day. That's somewhere north of $100k per day. Not a bad figure.

Marc is settled into family life now that he has a wife and 3 very cute kids. Of course, I am partial because they are my family. Oh and I am NOT his wife. That's just gross LOL.

He is currently working on a new game - Heroes of Newerth (check FB profile http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heroes...th/63037549101). It is still in private beta but from what i hear it's rocking for him so far.

I bought ARS from him 3 years ago so he could concentrate on his games and local businesses. Contrary to what has been said in this thread, ARS is not dead. But it surely isn't doing the 3000+ sales a day we were doing 5-6 years ago. I remember there were a few days where we actually broke 4000 signups / day. I'll see if i can get him to stop by and say hi

I think ARS is evolving with the times. The new products and ventures the company has launched is proof of this.
