Funny story, really... interesting of course to see this line:

"Anyway these guys all just like a beer together I guess and at least two are linked to an Indian American called Deepak Agarwal the owner of DeeCash dot com, yes there’s that money word again, and they are all doing the same thing."

Nice to see the the Deecash people are high enough up the food chain to be recognized by people outside the business.

Comments has this gem too...

Lloyd: Once you start tracking these guys you can go on forever. Some fold up and re-invent themselves as something else. If you track for instance Mayor’s Money, formerly owned by a director of Final Wave Co Ltd, Pattaya, you will find it is now operated by the owner of Deecash in Manila. The former owner Mission Dollars (now closed down) also of Final Wave Pattaya you could once follow on twitter where he listed all the restaurants he dined at. He has stopped now though.

Im hearing more and more rumors and speculation that Dee and the thieves from Manwin/Brazzers are hooked at the hip somehow.

I just have a weird feeling that Deepak found a willing bank or series of banks that would host credit card processing for adult sites, banks that are more than willing to take the heat and not impose too many restrictions or pass on charge backs. Based on the FTC complaint against the Brazzers guys regarding he money coming into the US from overseas and then getting paid out, there is concern about international flows of income.

I would also suspect that they have found certain jurisdictions to have companies in (seems the UK is popular right now) that allow them to limit their tax liabilities, as well as giving them access to even more processing. It's the only way that they can continue to do such significant cross billing with impunity.
