Forget Steve Lightspeed...
 
AVNFabian is going to save us all...

"The Internext schedule also includes an exclusive keynote address by Manwin Managing Partner Fabian Thylmann, scheduled for 3-4 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 17 in Body English."

“Besides the chance to share my thoughts and perspectives on the current state of the industry, it is also a chance to address any remaining questions anyone has about Manwin,” Thylmann told AVN. “I have always been open to answering any and all questions, and this will be a chance to do it up close and personal.”

I guess since the story on them buying Digital Playground has already broken I suppose we will hear how Manwin is going to police the web and stomp out piracy.

His speech wasn't all rhetoric as I think most people expected. He's a businessman by all accounts. The whole thing was a mini-bio of himself, and how Mansef turned into Manwin. He came across in a good light actually.

Of course he did, he wrote the speech. He's only going to tell everyone what he wants them to know.

I'll give the man his due in regards to business savvy, it's his ethics that I question. He no different that the Wall Street CEOs or Washington politicians. The public story rarely reveals what is really going on behind closed doors.

He may have come across is a good light, but it seems that it didn't take long for things to start turning ugly again. Some people seem uneasy to see Man-whatever with their tentacles in all sorts of odd and unhappy places.

Nope.

Ethics and common sense dictate that I don't support those who have the entire industry circling the bowl in tighter and tighter circles.

I heard lots of the Bros were lined up at the keynote speech to juggle Fabian's balls in their mouth and lick his ass. Funny how the real info is coming out in his lawsuit with ICM.

As much as I don't trust a word Lawley says, I've always figured that the Manwin vs ICM deal went down much differently than the way Fabian tried to tell it. I just seemed like common sense that Fabian would try to partner with them, make money from xxx some kind of way, then at the very least try to shake them down for free (or at cost) .xxx domains for all of his own tube sites. Of course Lawley the greedy bastard he is, isn't going to give anything away, hence the legal battle. Little Fabian couldn't bully the domains out of them and partner with them so he spins it into some hero shit where he is suing them because its the right thing to do and looking out for us little guys. Which I also think the lawsuit is just further leverage, trying to get all the .xxx versions of his own domains without having to go to auction and be the highest bidder. If ICM were to make a deal he would end the lawsuit in a heart beat.

Where does the ball juggling in my mouth and asshole cleaning line end? I need to get in line to give thanks.

Did he leave out the part how Bob Rice was his "president of acquisitions" and who his partners really are that is the funding behind it all? I'm guessing not, when people tell stories about themselves they typically make it sound glamorous and leave out parts they don't want you to know about.

Fabian the programmer and 1/3 part owner of NATS to porn tycoon with assets worth well over 100M in just about 2 years time. And this is taking place in 2008 - 2010 and not 1995.

He did it all himself. Why would anyone doubt him.

Fabian has no regrets about buying ads on the pirate bay as long as he can turn a profit. But he is here to save us all. BRB im next in line to juggle his balls in my mouth.

Why do I keep thinking of the name Allen Glick?
