full article...

ok i have the terms from multiple sources

they are on http://www.mikesouth.com

100M up front 200M in a promissory note (or similar)

This is Dramaaaaa!!!

Lol

so he makes a deal, pays his taxes and a fine, still has like 200+ million USD and lived happily ever after...

maybe he'll drop in from time to time for a pissing match with you :winkwink:

Interesting comment i got

"I was told it was only 20% anyway for some very critical data he provided that he had access to from a prior employer."

I don't agree with all the content stealing and the other BS they pull but I understand why they are doing it - I don't understand why you would let something like Thumbzilla rot...

One guy with a laptop could have that site sorted - Its throwing money away.....

Fuck it - I will sell out for a 10% share of the traffic - Well, at least think about it...

Of course I am preaching to a multi-million dollar company and I barely break even most months.....

Not usually to other countries. :2 cents: :2 cents:
It is with a heavy heart that he only gets $200 million.

mayb he will do it like kim dotcom and build manwin.co.nz :D

Schengen Treaty :winkwink:

free within the EU

no more piracy?

congrats the the winners.

nope.
no more linking piracy with fabian

It could be a Europe thing - Remember you don't even have 'manned borders' in most of Europe these days...

Roald out at FreeOnes, Fabian out at Manwin... what's next?

woopdeefuckingdoo

this was the biggest laugh of them all... 'I hope I have taught all of you and management the right values to be able to continue the company in the best possible way and I am looking forward to following its development." ...values? ha

Congrats to Santana and Feras. This is a BIG BIG Day for them. Anybody who's dealt with Santana knows how awesome and loyal he has been to Manwin. Finally his big moment has arrived. Couldn't happen to a more qualified and nicer guy.

The Fabian era comes to an end and I think he did pretty well for himself. Congrats Fabian!

TheButcher buying GFY

Who is Santana??? Carlos?

Santana is the MAN!

lol - Now Shap is a guy who knows what side his bread is buttered on...

So if Fabian was a "puppet" .... who is the puppet master that gets the three hundred million? I'm confused.

Okay, but what does he do at Manwin?

Everything.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Stop confusing the people on gfy !!

;)

I wonder if his deal includes a clause where he's not allowed to talk/write about Manwin - hope not, Fabian likes to talk.

good thing you're not coming here to make friends, right? :winkwink: :1orglaugh

:2 cents::2 cents:

So he has gone from giving a keynote speech at Internext, being proclaimed the "King Of Porn", getting arrested, and now gone from the industry all in about 4 years.

All without ever actually picking up a single camera.

And he got mad when I called him a "Suit" in one of our conversations. lol

He's not any different than a dozen or so other people I've watched since the mid 1990's who checked in, stole as much as they could and left.

I guess that phenomena happens in all industries. And those of us who actually are IN the industry and create things see it all if you are around long enough.

Looks like the "throne" is now empty and we'll see who is proclaimed the next "king" in the future.

Man Loses Empire - The King of Porn is Toppled
 

Fabian Thylmann's meteoric rise from NATS programmer to the "King of Porn" is over barely three years after the first press release that he had purchased Mansef, and renamed the company Manwin.

This quiet coup d'etat dispels the notion that Fabian Thylmann was ever actually in charge. It appears that once he outlived his usefulness as corporate patsy, Nathan was unceremoniously cast aside by the same Mansef people that were pulling his strings (and yanking the industry around) all along.

Amazing crash and burn tale...I wonder when (if ever) we'll hear from Manwin's new (old) bosses... :winkwink:

Not sure what this portends for the industry, since Fabian was supposedly little more than a well-intentioned smiley face know-nothing covering for the evil Man(sef)Win overlords and their criminal network (money-laundering, content piracy, etc). :uhoh

:stoned

ADG

XXXjay out at OCcash...

I don't remember anyone doing it on the scale Fabian did - You have to look at Larry and Hugh to see those sort of numbers - Of course I wouldn't put Fabian in the same class - They at least had/have some class....

300 million dollars is a lot of money to buy out somebody whom you suggest was just a corporate patsy.

I recall that day were we met each other face to face :)

Best luck to everyone.

Surprised they didn't just have him hit …….. Company values and all.

That's the American in you talking. Europeans are free to travel to many EU countries.

Sluuuuurp. :upsidedow

Congrats to him for getting out in time before Uncle Matt kicks the whole tube operation in the nutsack.
