Sex.com is in similar shape, a marquee property decaying beneath an enticing facade. When Kremen took possession of the porn portal, he figured it would run itself. But by early 2001, the Internet had become saturated with free porn on peer-to-peer networks like Kazaa, and Sex.com's revenue dropped by two-thirds. Kremen compounded his problems with lousy management skills - multiple firings, obsessive litigation - and an addiction to speed. "I'd be lying," he admits, "if I said I wasn't my own worst enemy sometimes."

The quote at the end seems to sum it all up.

Personally I like these paragraphs better.
I think it sums up the bigger point weve been hinting at...
"Even if that's possible, Kremen might not be the man for the job. As we talk in an office he keeps in the mansion, a man bounds into the room. Kevin Blatt is an adult-entertainment business consultant who goes by his initials; KB has short, gelled hair, a goatee, and sunglasses he keeps on indoors. He works for HerbalO, a company that sells virility products on adult Web sites. Kremen thinks that's tacky. KB scoffs: "If there's money on the table, I'm going to take it."
By KB's side is his current girlfriend and the star of Girliescam.com, Anna Castro, who's wearing a tank top that barely conceals her breasts. "This is Girlie," KB says by way of introduction. "She's hot. And she sucks cock like you wouldn't believe."
