"There is no deal, currently," Lars Mapstead, co-owner and vice president of marketing for AdultFriendFinder, told AVN Online.
TechCrunch reported that the company may have been purchased for $1 billion, later reducing that figure to $500 million.
"They are just rumors," Various founder Andrew Conru told AVN Online. "Over the last couple of years, we have been talking with a number of possible investors, as well as investigating a possible public offering - lots of interesting things.

Both of you lying thieving scamming fucks can officially eat me raw... balls and all.

You lied about stealing my traffic. You lied about Zango and you lied about this deal!

$500 million is waaaaaaaayyyyyy the fuck out of line for that service. For piss money and a bunch of sharp webmasters Penthouse could have started their own form of a dating/meeting program and kicked royal ass.

This is about laziness and other things that look too uncool.

$500 million????

That's got to be an error.
