Playboy isn't going to pay -- an idiot VP got involved and cocked the payments up. Plus, they owed me a year of GFY advertising that I'll never see. I had a contract, too, but their lawyers are too strong to butt heads with. It's a losing battle. They offered me a $10k settlement, then reduced it to $5k, then again to $2,500. I told them to stick the $2,500 up their ass. Incidentally, I would have taken the 1/6 payment of $10,000 had I known what financial troubles they were having, but they tried to play it off and act tough like they weren't having money problems at the time.

Chio is off in the wind somewhere .. he stole money from many people here.

None of the amounts are large enough to sue over, but I mention them whenever someone asks who's screwed me personally.

For playboy it sounds a little odd, like there is something missing to the story, ie if they offered you a settlement it sounds like there was something that was missing (problems with the product / service? )

Sure do. He owed us around 180k from back in the day.

$38,500 from GTS.
$60,000 from Playboy.
Similar amounts from Chio.

I'm sure the list will grow.

Just want to say i did get the refund from xxxupdate, we have no clue why it took so long but i saw it on my account at 12:05am today. So he is not a scammer though i wish the biz could have been handled differently, in the end was doing what he thought was best.

However, xxxupdate is also drmadcat here on gfy, a two bit Filippino chat spammer and somebody to avoid.
