Jessica Darlin's Racial Manifesto

She writes:

To the Army of the lonely and misguided,

Since you've always loved me so much I thought you might need some fuel for your flaming ways. I want to return the love displayed for me on every porn mark site. Someone told me that there was a site that had an image of me getting my head stepped on. Please e-mail me with that URL. That must be awesome! LOL I'm separated from my webmaster. My website is just a link for Metro now. I want the website pirate who stole JessicaDarlin.com and Metro who runs JessicaDarlinxxx.com to feel your pain. I want you to make sure they hear your animosity for me loud and clear. Force them to distance themselves from this so called Nazi propaganda. Tell them you won't invest a dime into their companies until they drop all affiliation with Jessica Darlin. I'm doing my damnedest to shed my skin and move on. I know I can't get rid of all of the years of content out there. I will make sure people know the true girl behind the content though! These people are going to be affiliated with one hated whore! Hit them in their pockets people!

Don't support people who have an employee with strong feelings about Oklahoma City. This was a day when people rose up against a murderous federal government. (Ruby Ridge & Waco) The same employee has altered feelings about the yuppies in the WTC (I love the hero's that make up the police and fireman-- They lost their lives in vain trying to save what was considered by Al Qeida-a Jewish soft target). This employee carries her lack of tolerance as a badge and her shred of empathy as a cancer! This employee wants that coward of a president to challenge the raping of our border by bringing our troops home to militarize it. The Arab world doesn't want freedom-they want a Holy war. We'll never be appreciated by a movement that calls for the death of the West. Quick question-Can't they just blow up liberals? This employee can say what she feels but it's never known to be good business! Shut up you liberal weasels concerning this war. The hippie, commie, black revolutionist thought that this war is fought by the poor is garbage. Out of the first 1500 soldiers that died over 1200 were WHITE! Out of the people who enlist (Not Drafted) over 80% voted for Bush. Stop acting like this is your fight. It's our fight as Christians against murderous fanatical Islam.

After I leaked my true feelings about the business I learned what selective hearing meant. I explained in bold italics what went wrong for me in porn. I always said that while in porn I judged people by their performance rather than their social status/race. I left home with a heart full of anti-Semitism. I never really had any hatred for Black America and I still don't. I relate to them more than socialite Whites. More down to earth. That doesn't mean that my experiment with the cultural divide worked though! I always despised wiggers and the thought of losing your identity and look what I became! LOL I had a true feeling of racial intolerance and a promise never to let the weak determine my truth. I fell out of touch with my skinhead brothers. They were my soldiers when we were together. Away from them I gave tolerance a chance as hate weighed heavy on my heart. Everyone told me it was wrong to feel this good about myself. From there I took it down a whole notch and gave peace a chance. When I agreed to do the first interracial scene it was a gut wrenching mistake. People remarked that Shawn using Redneck shouldn't have been a breaking point. That word is reserved for rednecks like myself. I love the word when it's between proud Southern whites. When it's used from Blacks, Hispanics, liberal whites or Jews-it's a racial slur no different than any other. From one black to another "What's up my NIGGA?" Get it?

Later in my career interracial was what they wanted as the fad became predominate. My career lasted 7 years and I'd say with the degeneration came the expectation for me to be the nigger lover that everyone saw with Shawn. They wanted the anal that they saw in my first flick. When this business gets its claws in you it's widely known that they'll shoot you for what you've done in the past. You do interracial and that's the calls you'll get. You do anal once and you'll be doing it the rest of your career. That's how I got caught up in the vicious cycle of demoralizing scenes, interracial, and the anal production line. I became a corporate whore. I could've said no to the 10,000 horrid interracial scenes but it would take just one picture from that scene with Shawn Michael's to contradict the rest of my life. At that point I went through the meat grinder as part of my career. No-one made me ever do all of those scenes. I was under the delusion that the blacks in the business saw me as equal. That we were all the same. Believing that nonsense made things feel different. Stepping away and noticing the sell-outs that followed in my path was the realization point. I heard that girl Ashley Blue say on Playboy that you can't be a big star unless you have a big black dick in you. WTF are you telling girls that for? Let them make that decision on their own. Tell Jenna that you need to do the Chocolate thunder to be big. Stupid white girls think black guys are cool-They stopped judging them as people. They think they have big dicks & (Santino Lee-LOL) that'll some how they're the privileged few that gets that. I guess they haven't been with the amazing Euro men that changed my walking habits. They think It'll make them look progressive in a society that hates the idea. They'll leave this business ostracized by all with no real relationships from either side. After I did the first I was dead in the eyes of racial purity and dead to my true love. White America.

I fell out of touch with my true feelings for others while trying to obtain my 15 minutes. Some CATTLE on Mr. Marcus's website said "Who dis bitch tink she is-talking s--- bout black performers and interracial"? What he was referring to was my plea to white girls in the business to stop the trend. They have the right to be selective no matter your how lacking the consumer fantasy ends up. New girls are going to be the first generation of strictly interracial and anal performers. I can tell you about the negative affects of both and the type of support that waits when you fall. NONE girls! The most painful thing I said to get the brothers in arms was my myth buster! I told girls that if you are attracted to black men because of the big dick myth- BEWARE. I f---ed all the big blacks in the business that are looked up to by porn marks. The best cock I ever had was Mark Davis. The finest guy i ever worked with was Julian. The biggest cock i ever had was a beautiful pure Euro man. White girls if your cock hunting there's nothing better than an uncut Euro cock. There's no guilt involved-If you fall in love with him after the scene you can do your best by strengthening our American bloodlines. We're all mutts in America but if you have the chance to replenish our purity-DO SO! I work in Vegas. The interracial capitol of the world. Everyone is so busy falling apart that people don't verbalize their distain for that disharmony. They can blend in without the retribution. There's also a huge lack of emphasis on family here so it goes unnoticed. Then again there's a huge pimp to ho ratio so it just might be a working relationship I've been seeing? LOL GARBAGE!

The words came out proclaiming me as a hypocrite? I only speak from life experience. I blurred my vision of other races and their agendas in America but never lost total sight. Mr. Marcus has Black power speech and Black Nationalism all over his site. I've never heard a word from him condemning it. Maybe because he looks out for his race as well. They've called for the death of me and I've never responded. I guess they know that 13% of the population isn't enough of an issue to warrant a response. Look how your VOTE or DIE proclamation worked-AHHHHH! LOL It's just not fashionable for a white to have pride. We all make our initial judgment of others through small increments of stereotypes. I don't endorse the stereotypes without a base. I've had a very poor relationship with just about every Jew I've ever come in contact with. I won't deny the Holocaust but I will admit to being anti-Semitic. I would never be rude to someone based on their skin color or religion. I just recognize our differences and I rank their existence accordingly. Back to my Jewish relationships-I will say that the stereotypes that haunt them reared their ugly head in our friendships and furthered my distance. I see the successful whites separating themselves daily from the Latino population. We worry about illegal immigration but they can't afford to live in our neighborhoods so they can't bring down property value. This country was built on immigrants. We all have the right to be here. Just do it legally. We are vastly different along culture lines. I've had all types of relationships with black people and have no stereotype that prevents our friendship. There is a precursor that limits our possibilities though.

I went back to my bloodline and found it to be a source of pride. I gave my old friends a call not to ask for forgiveness or make excuses. I called to let them know that I was wrong. Any chances I took or decisions I made thinking that tolerance and racial acceptance was a better form of life-was crap! They would never take me in at the National Alliance or the hate groups that my boys affiliate with. They'd hate me for life and I understand. I'd still support the cause under any condition. They always looked out for us. They were the truth and I looked for an weaker/easier life. It's easier to play the liberal whore-it's hard to stand your ground against the weak that has Americas ear. I used to be hated and proud. Somewhere down the line I chose to be loved. It's so much better to be hated for who you are rather than loved for who your not!

One of my dearest friends was one of the skinheads Bianca Trump e-mailed and partied with. He told me that she denied her Latino background but the truth about her did bring and end. When my friend found out about her porn past she was 86'd. The hate that I know they have for others was directed at her. It breaks my heart to know they feel that way about me but I'm stronger. We agree to disagree. I was the first girl in our crew. My husband has taken the true brunt of the blow. He's lost everything due to our decision to incorporate tolerance. They blame him for not demanding that I stay pure even while choosing to be a video whore. They hated that decision anyway. My husband befriended racial diversity in the business but that got him no-where. My husband considered Mr. Marcus a fiend when he had so few. Leaving his boys he saw something good in Mr. Marcus. Marcus wouldn't be seen dead with him now. Look at what TOLERANCE has done-The worst word imaginable.

Who knows more than I do about interracial and the real feelings that exist? I speak from lessons learned. Of course a black guy is going to question my motive! I'm hurting his chance at that trophy white pussy. I've been there and done that and that's why I can talk! People hate without having any real knowledge and contact with their enemies. I can honestly say that I know my detractors up close and really f---ing personal. Two of the three worst f---s were with black guys-so save the -BEAT the PUSSY up- whisper. I've seen girls change their dress, their talk, walk, and overall pride to see the dark side. No-one challenged the strength of interracial relationships when I commented about their short existence. I said if the white girl is chasing the black dick one day she'll land on it. The pussy will get loose, the dick will get tired and you'll have to roll over and have a conversation. Real responsibilities take effect and they fall apart.

What the white girl has to do is take a look in the mirror. I was left with the reality that even the black performers felt the same way I did. Most blacks have more respect for a white who sees his skin color versus the sellouts that cling to theirs. Black people want their own identity and are sick of us blurring that line. I mentioned two prominent black performers that told me they'd never date out of their race and that the most they could see in a white person is a performance. Not one limp stood up to question who that might be. I told you about a former boss who wouldn't let a certain black performer get around his girl. His girl had sucked him off before they met and the thought repulsed him. I could shoot with that performer because he sold movies but I wasn't to dare bring him into the office. The double standard was that he-(the boss)-liked the thought of black broads SO BLACK (How Black?)- That their teeth glowed. African bush black was the phrase. (Actual phrases heard by more than one) I've had a lot of bosses so you do your best to figure that one out. Multiple contract girl and all. When the business started coming down on me not one black performer ever spoke a word of support. I had decent relationships with black performers away from the job. Someone said she must be drugged out now as she fades from stardom-lol No dips----I was high for the period that led me to giving up my pride. The days experimenting led to addiction, embarrassment, bad decisions, and overall failure. Winning awards doing crap like that wasn't an accomplishment-It was a failure. It took me being sober to see all the stupid things I did. No-one ever forced me to do interracial. I was influenced to say the least and then typecast into the last part of my career. It led to the mindless industry standards that I help set.

Most hate groups do it from a far. They rarely act from first hand knowledge. They're taught to hate and pass it down. My parents were pretty liberal. I formed my opinions through trial and error with a variety of nationalities. There's nothing violent about wanting to set a life away from the influence of others. Segregation only hurts the ones that need from others. Interracial is the death of individualism. Why shouldn't we strive to be different? The socialist way has all of us getting the same ration. I want my people to strive for more. What if we were all self sufficient? -Look at history-(remember that your beloved Malcolm X called for the complete separation of races)-few knew first hand whether or not Dr Kings sandbox vision for our children and their future would work. Dr King was a man pushing for the advancement of black people during a time in America when they needed it. He never spoke for the future of white America. He didn't care. Now look how many whites are trying to eliminate Christianity in a guilt soaked movement to gain tolerance from others. Tolerance is what Dr King spoke of. Tolerance has weakened the legs white America stands on. Now we're (proud whites) left wondering why we would ever celebrate his existence? He was a good voice for Black America but he's not my Dr!

We can't just all get along! He was a black civil rights leader. He wasn't that different from the violent chapter of the Black Panthers. A militant movement still exists from the civil rights era and is voiced in rap today. I'm one of the few whites who have moved on and don't look at the integration of America in Dr King's eye as progress. If races could be self sufficient we wouldn't have the need to co-exist. Do Mexicans assimilate-NO. They're not called racist for it. They border jump-rape and pillage our land deeper than the land once known as Mexico. They set up in their own little barrios and force us to add Spanish options to our lives. From T.V to radio to everyday life they do everything they can not to lose their culture.

Back on the beaten path-I was ridiculed when I misspelled words but the worthless lonely porn marks that march to the video store on the release dates knew what I was saying and it ripped apart their fantasies. I think rather than my grammatical errors they should focus on real social interaction. Ones that don't end up in blistered hands, lubed up remotes, 5 Viagras, meth, and burnt out DVD players. The avid porn fan that makes up the daily bloggers has larger issues that lead to their addictions. Failed social lives-marriages-acceptance from women-and overall a lack of self worth is the driving force that is the lonely soul. Porn does revive some marriages and help accelerate the sexual prowess for others. Few take it lightly compared to the ones that are consumed and detached from real relationships. I never got close to my fans because I f---ed for me. I was never shy.

What do you think drove the material that Brandon Iron, Thomas Zupko, Rob Black and Lizzy Borden made? The material that you thought fit to defend against obscenity charges. The truth is that underneath that line about ART stood real disturbing underlying motivations for that material. One of them has a pound of cock but got a lot of gay fan mail for some reason? He has an issue with male patterned baldness, a voice that lacks testosterone, and blazing amounts of insecurity with women. The scenes became his canvas for retaliation. His finished piece wasn't art it was REVENGE! It leads to a series of punishment and brutality that you supported. It was the sick treating his illness and you saw it as ART. One of those people was the Christmas Grinch-The Jew in him threw a fit when he couldn't degrade/shoot a girl to no end on Christmas day. The business was watching us at the time and he was told to ease up. He came to tears when his beer & cough medicine ran out. He asked how he could make a movie without destroying these girls. No talk about art. One of them was known for mistreating previous girlfriends with violence. He had a list of insecurities and glitches that would make Howard Hughes look messy. He was the mastermind behind the overall concepts against these unsuspecting girls. (Did they take the paycheck and run-yes! Do you care where they are now?-NO!) The last was a poster child for ENVY. Who would want to be a porn star worse than someone who tried and failed you ask? Maybe the same person who was handed the ability to direct the girls she was most threatened by. Drop them down a level to help her sanity. Are these the products of the art you backed in that court case? Was this the landmark decision that you wanted? I had my money on states evidence. Another lost bet!

The government had a chance to weed out the sick and you rallied to strengthen the disease. Congratulations. For the girls who might read this here I roar. Don't change who you are-Understand that all the physical damage you do to your body won't be s--- compared to the next girls pain. Somewhere down the line you'll have to take a stand and it will improve the business. If every girl stuck to her guns and only did scenes that she fantasized about than we'd have an industry full of truth. The girls you see on film are doing what they're paid to do. I can't remember more than five girls who actually wanted to be there for the sex. These guys will replace you before you hit the ground. What's a porn funeral look like? I'm guessing pretty lonely. How dare I give the girls that they manipulate and degraded a voice? You can't handle the truth!

Jessica F'N Darlin

P.S-I said that Darren James had victimized the girls he infected and all the brothers who didn't want the responsibility stood up for him. Girls catch HIV and the obvious lack of empathy showed. Let that be an example. QUESTION though? Darren was to have had a spider bite that lowered his immune system to a level low enough to catch it from a woman? LOL - OK hear this bitch. Around that time the weasel ranting Devan at HGC posted something about performers spreading staph infections. Devan said something about performers using the line "It's a spider bite" From there he or someone at HGC said if you're found to have a Staph it'll look like a spider bite and you'll not FOOL anyone. You'll be outed and quarantined from this business. That means in all likelihood that Darren might have had a staph that led to his weakened immune system. The brothers and the industry would have you believe that Darren wasn't working with a contagious Staph infection but you'll believe a spider bite? How many of you have ever been bitten by a f---ing spider? Come the f--- on! I've had a staph after working with a black performer and maybe because of their skin color it's hard to see. Then again the boils hurt like a bitch and if he didn't have the early flu-like HIV symptoms he probably had that symptom. I never heard that weasel DEVAN come out and question the validity of the spider bite. If he worked with that infection who's to say when he got back in the states he didn't feel like s---. Feeling like s--- and working anyway. The Staph will give you flu-like symptoms at the on-start. Save the innocent black man because HIV sees no color. HIV does give you warnings-I hope he didn't ignore them. Darren was a nice guy to me but we questioned the girls deeper than him-Why? Just questions-no facts.

PSSSSS-Some people say my Conservative talk is some deep down need to be Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter. The truth is that I hate Rush Limbaugh's holier than thou ass kissing of this president and his numerous mistakes. From the immigration issue, to the kid gloves he's put on our proud soldiers. They behead our people and we're worrying about the Koran? No more smart bombs. Lets drop it down to their brutality. Turn that desert to glass and bring'em home!!

Do you think Ann Coulter has ever been pounded in the ass on camera? Even though I'd love to see that or do it to her myself. I love her strength but she'd hate who I am. I support her fight no matter. Conservative women get hell and she returns with fire. I'm pro abortion and stem cell research to advance medicine way past what this administration would allow. I'm nothing like either side. I have my own brand of life that I broadcast love it or leave it.

FINAL STAND,

I've made and spent more money than most of you will make in your whole lives. I've traveled to countries you'll never go to. I've signed autographs for the way I f---! Imagine that. I've had better sex than you'll have in your whole life and if I die tomorrow I will have lived your fantasies in a 24 hour workday. Your fantasy was just another day at work for me. Your death wishes will never make up for all of the time you spent wishing you were someone else. I just had to figure out which way was best for me. Either way is better than you!

AVN's Non-Involvement With .XXX

AVN President Paul Fishbein posts:

For those who trash us on the boards and speak without any knowledge of what's really going on (yes Mike South, you), here's the story. In the early days, at the encouragement of a couple of our biggest clients, we had meetings with Jason Hendeles concerning AVN's potential involvement with the .XXX business. We viewed it as a business opportunity. We sought the advice of many in the adult business, some of whom felt that the .XXX domains would "ghettoize" the adult business, while others felt there was a real opportunity.

However, we never made a deal with Jason and to date have no involvement in .XXX.

.XXX On The Way

Connor writes on GFY:

I'm betting that by this time next year we'll be talking about some government-led attempt to force adult sites onto .XXX domain names. It won't take long for some politician somewhere to get the bright idea that forcing all adult sites to use .XXX would somehow "protect children." And since the people behind .XXX appear to be falsely suggesting that .XXX somehow combats child pornography if the AVN article is to be believed (how it manages THAT little task I'd really like to know), it's clear that people are ALREADY using .XXX for their own selfish purposes.

There is NOTHING that .XXX gives us that we couldn't have accomplished just as easily with voluntary ratings. Since most webmasters will choose to stick with .COM because that's where the traffic is, there will be just as much porn outside .XXX as there ever was... meaning this does NOTHING to protect children and does NOTHING to create a safe harbor for children. And even after the government tries to force all American webmasters onto .XXX domain names, through direct legislation or through pressure, there will STILL be plenty of international porn on .COM domain names, and children STILL will not be protected. It's dishonest to say the least to promote .XXX as something that will protect children or combat child pornography. Give me a break. Some people clearly want to make money selling pverpriced domain names to the adult industry and are trying to market it as something other than what it is... a money grab.

This is a HORRIBLE development for the industry. And since the FSC voted AGAINST supporting .XXX, I wonder who all these free speech groups are that supposedly supported .XXX according to the comments from the people who will be cashing in on this little business venture.

XPays posts: "It won't be the government ghettoizing the adult internet with .xxx. It will be the credit card companies, if anybody, who have the ability to say "all adult sites billed by visa are required to use .xxx blah blah blah". Visa and MC make their own rules unlike the gov't who has to deal with pesky issues like free speech."

Kernel Panic posts: "Some people see this as protecting children, even though each new TLD brings hundreds of millions in new domain registrations. The people pushing the .xxx TLD have all the hysterical parents behind them, which amounts to basically free publicity on a "webmaster responsibility" platform."

Deep Throat writes: "Aly from AVN in trouble at work. She's been too outspoken on the boards. Paul Fishbein is annoyed.

".xxx passed because ASACP [and FSC?] gets $3 for every registration. They plan to lobby states to make it manditory for all adult sites."

Aly replies: "Contrary to your source's claim, Paul and I both agree it's a very good thing that someone from AVN is finally responding to board postings. AVN does take it's fair share of abuse on the boards but I'm extremely objective in real life and therefore have no reason to be anything other than civil. All that said, there's been a good amount of positive response, too. I'd say it's going very well... and I have absolutely no doubt that Paul agrees."

Jill Kelly Forced Out Of Jill Kelly Productions?

Dee writes: "Why is Jill Kelly being forced out of her namesake company? Because Bob Friedland and Dan Ice have alot to hide and do not want her to find it. Ex-employee here who saw what was going on, and feel sorry for Jill. She did nothing wrong except trust the wrong people. If the SEC and IRS new what they had done, along with departed COO Ron Stone, there would be jail time for many. Someone should look into this."

I think Jill realized that the main problem with the company was Bob Friedland, that he's widely hated. With help (from some investor back East, say Avi Mirman?) she tried to get rid of Friedland. She told a lot of people about her plans. Friedland heard and now he's forcing her out.

Jill Kelly Productions is essentially bankrupt. Friedland may be a con artist, but he's smarter in these matters than Jill.

Who's Behind The Curtain At Pornogossip.com?

Source writes:

I know vic @ vertigo is the man behind the curtain of porngossip.com. so i would guess T.J. DiReda and that whole crew know about it.

i hear there are a bunch of people running counterfeit evil angel DVD's around NY. Some really fat guy who just got out of prison has been peddling EA stuff to NY distributors. That's how direct distributors got busted last week. I know he has a ton of bootlegged Rocco Canadian imports that he is shopping he works out of the trunk of his car like the Avon lady.

Teagan Presley (or her publicist?) writes in to pornogossip.com:

What is the point of posting a link to my boyfriend's myspace page? I don't really understand. It's not like it illustrates anything bad or showing that he's a bad father. He's a great father, I've witnessed him with children so that isn't the issue. I don't know if you were just implying that I was drinking or doing other harmful things when I was pregnant. But that picture of us with the quote "camping getting faded" was taken well before I was pregnant on my mom's birthday. I have not drank, or done any drugs & I'm glad to be completely sober. As long as I'm happy that's all I give a f--- about, not what people tell me to do or what they think. I just don't understand porno gossip people. You take things to the extreme & stretch it so far. Until you know my business or have talked to me, don't post s--- about me. Ya so, I was drunk @ Bliss big deal everyone has a day when they didn't realize how much they drank & get sick. Big deal. It's not something to go & swoon about on a damn website. Why don't you try posting some real news about people instead of bulls---. Thank you...

Whatever Happened To Logan LaBrent?

Scorpion writes:

I remembered you did some layouts with her on your old site and you even had her over to your place for some pics. Her face pops up from time to time on different compilations I've seen. My buddy told me he saw her in Vegas dancing at the Crazy Horse Too and she had lost quite a bit of weight. She looked good he said, but she was a little out of control with the tattoos all over the place, especially around her midsection.

Long Time Money and Lots of Cocaine

This is Rodger Jacobs' new book on the Wonderland murders.

We did the following interview via email.

Duke: Why did you write this book?

Rodger: There has been plenty of speculation and conjecture about the events that transpired on Wonderland Avenue in July of 1981. With this book - using the verbatim transcript of John's Preliminary Hearing in L.A. Superior Court for quadruple murder on February 2, 1982 - I'm able to present to a public that still has a voracious appetite for stories about the Wonderland killings something that is completely factual. It also provides a unique look into the judicial system and what works and what doesn't work, particularly with reference to criminal law. For instance, John's defense lawyer, Earl Hanson, rips into Detective Frank Tomlinson on cross-examination and grossly misrepresents the facts pertaining to a statement Holmes made to Tomlinson on December 7, 1981, shortly after John was extradited from Florida to face charges.

Tomlinson had advised Holmes of his Miranda rights and told him that there were some questions he wanted to ask regarding the murders.

Holmes stated, "I understand my rights. I don't have any questions about that." Tomlinson stated, "If you are filed on and we go to court, I will be testifying against you and will use every statement you make to me so be sure you understand that."

Holmes replied, "I understand", and then added: "After Eddie Nash was robbed he made me tell who robbed him. He held me at his house and took my address book and wrote down the names of my family. He did that in front of me and then told me that if I ever talked to the police, he would kill someone in my family. That's why I'm afraid to tell you. Then he had me taken at gunpoint to the house on Wonderland. I knew what was going to happen but I had no choice. I had to set things up and let them in. I was there when the murders happened but I didn't hurt anyone. I was just there."

Tomlinson then said: "Dawn (Schiller) told me that you said 'Nash's niggers' made you let them in."

Holmes said, "I can't be specific and give you the race."

So Detective Tomlinson then asked, "If I arrested Nash and Diles (Nash's 300-pound black bodyguard) for the murders, would I be making a mistake?"

"No. Eddie Nash is the most evil man I have ever met," Holmes shot back. "He has people around him that would kill for him even if he was dead. I know this to be a fact but I cannot tell you any specifics or testify against Nash because I truly believe I would be jeopardizing my family. I know that I will be killed, but so far he has left my family alone and I can only assume he's done that because I haven't spoken."

Well, I can't give it all away but it's amazing to read how Tomlinson does ridiculous backflips in an attempt to discredit that statement that John gave the detective.

Duke: Why the title?

Rodger: The title comes from a statement attributed to John by Tracy McCourt in his testimony at the hearing. He says that when John was trying to convince Billy Deverell, Ron Launius, David Lind, and McCourt into robbing Nash he told them there would be "long time money and lots of cocaine" to be had from robbing Nash.

McCourt is an interesting character. It's McCourt's testimony and the testimony of David Lind, one of the gunmen in the Nash robbery, that is the cornerstone of the prosecution's case in the hearing. Lind - who is a smooth talking, articulate felon - presents the low-life residents of 8763 Wonderland as full-time drug dealers. McCourt, on the other hand, states that drug dealing was just an occasional thing. But McCourt, who is monosyllabic and hostile at times, is petulant in court over the fact that David Lind entered the plot "out of nowhere" and complains that his gun was confiscated and given to Lind, hence McCourt's role as getaway driver after the robbery.

Duke: What did you think of Wonderland and Boogie Nights?

Rodger: I thought both films had their merits. "Boogie Nights" is pure fiction with some minor forays into the truth. As for "Wonderland," I believe I'm the only person alive who finds the film very well done. On the other hand, I approached the movie with a working knowledge of the Wonderland murders, having co-produced "Wadd: The Life and Times of John C. Holmes" and spending almost 16 months of my life interviewing not just people who knew and worked with John but many of the main characters in the People's case against Holmes, including Ron Cohen, the former District Attorney who is now a judge in the L.A. court system.

"Wonderland" should not have concluded where it did, with Dawn and John fleeing to Florida, because that's just the beginning of the story. On the other hand, John becomes way less than sympathetic once he and Dawn land in Miami Beach. He put her to work as a street walker once and beat her in the court of the motel in front of other residents, events which led to his extradition to L.A.

Duke: Was John Holmes a bad man?

Rodger: John was a true sociopath. A textbook sociopath. You know, when he set up the robbery on Nash he did it because he owed Ron Launius and Billy Deverell - both residents of the Wonderland house and both killed during the vicious assault - money for drugs and he needed money to release his latest film from the editors. He put all of these people in harm's way - convincing them to rob a man that he later described to police as "the most evil man I have ever met" - to satisfy his own selfish needs. Is that a bad man? In my book, yes.

Duke:

Rodger: Defense attorney Earl Hanson's handling of Susan Launius on the stand is compelling. Susan, the wife of victim Ron Launius, was the only survivor of the brutal murders. She sustained massive head injuries, a partially paralyzed left leg, and a finger had been sliced off from the force of the blows. A large portion of her skull had to be removed in surgery. The irony is that Susan did not live in the house at Wonderland. She was estranged from her husband and was visiting for a few days, having arrived the morning of the murders.

Hanson begins destroying any credibility Susan might have when he cross examines Linda Marie Mitchell, the paramedic who arrived on scene at 4:00 P.M. on July 1. Mitchell tells Hanson that Launius was semi-conscious and trying to speak but was unintelligible. Now, when Hanson cross-examines Launius about the assault three things become apparent from the fog of her memory: (1) There were three intruders; (2) one of them was a slender African-American male, approximately 30 years old with "dark eyes" that stared through her, and (3) she saw a lot of swift-moving shadows. She is very clear on these points, though she can't recall whether she was clothed or nude at the time of the killings (crime scene photography indicates she was nude). Hanson chips away at what she cannot recall and concludes his cross examination by asking her if she has ever in her life seen the defendant, John Holmes, to which Susan replies in the negative. It's a very odd method of defense on Hanson's part because he relies on her memory that there were three intruders and that none of them, possibly, were John yet at the same time he establishes that her memory is faulty at best.

Duke: What did you think of the Legs McNeil book The Other Hollywood? Particularly its treatment of this material.

Rodger: I didn't read McNeil's book and I don't know too many people who have. I certainly wouldn't read it to learn more about the Wonderland murders because I have two boxes crammed full of research material on the case. I own a virtual Wonderland reading library.

Duke: How did Cass Paley react to your essay at the end of the book?

Rodger: At first Cass was livid and we didn't speak for about eight months to a year. But that's all behind us now and we're working on a new documentary feature that has nothing to do with the porn industry. I adhere to Truman Capote's philosophy that if you have a writer for a friend you should expect a violation of trust every now and then. A writer thrives - and pays the bills - through what he sees, hears, and experiences. His environment, and the folks who populate it, are the raw materials for his art.

Porn Star Karaoke At Sardos

My favorite moment of the night is when a white porn girl sitting on the lap of black porn guy Silvio freaks out when I go to take their picture. She didn't just freak out for five seconds (I immediately agreed not to photograph), but for about a minute, so scared was she that I'd capture her sitting on a black guy.

Folks, if you don't want to get photographed, don't go to Porn Star Karaoke and don't sit on the laps of porners.

Tonight's evening is sponsored by XXXotic Entertainment owned by the brothers David Simpson and Jay Williams. They've produced over 20 hardcore titles.

David: "My brother and I come from mainstream news. My brother and I have been fans of porn like everybody else. We used to attend a lot of events. We thought there would be a need for our brand of journalism. We thought we could do something different with interviews and behind the scenes. About three years ago, we started Porn Stars on DVD. We went to all the events and got in-depth interviews. We came out with our first volume about a year ago.

"Everybody in the adult entertainment business has been open and accepting of us. It's like a family. We've been embraced."

David Simpson directed the family-favorite Black Gangster Bitches starring Lori Alexia. "It's a fun take on the urban hip-hop era. We've got a soundtrack written by my nephew Gonzo Black called 'Only For Them Gangsters.' He's an up-and-coming rap star. We're looking at doing something similar to what Snoop and the other guys are doing. He's in touch with the urban hip-hop community. We're looking at putting out a line geared towards that whole genre.

"My daughter is 21. She recently took a tour of my studio. She's proud of her dad. At 21, they think it's cool. Other members of the family are standoffish, not sure how to take what we're doing."

David's brother runs production and David is the businessman.

At 10:30pm, I step outside with Reina Leone and her husband Joe Friday (they've been married since July and together for four years).

Reina: "About two-and-a-half years ago [while they were both working as cops in San Francisco], we went to the AVN expo. We'd always had a fantasy about getting into porn. We met Belladonna. She said, 'I want to shoot you for Bella's Perversions.'"

Duke: "Whose idea was it to get into porn?"

Reina: "Mine. Because of the girls. I'm every man's dream."

Duke: "Do you guys get jealous?"

Reina: "That's the nature of a couple."

Duke: "What do you love and hate about the industry?"

Reina: "I love the women. I love the people. For the most part, they are supportive. It's fun. It's the next best thing to being a movie star. The notoriety. I hate that a lot of the people are two-faced."

Duke: "What did you love and hate about being a cop?"

This gets a more passionate reaction.

Reina: "Oh G-d. Anybody who says they don't like the position of power is a liar. That was a turn-on. I hated it being a thankless job. We'd see a lot of people trying to put one over on you and to take advantage of the system. It makes you jaded."

Duke: "How did your family react to your becoming a porn star?"

Reina turns serious: "Not good. Here's how it broke out [June 2004]. One of my husband's co-workers found something of us on the web. He took it to the station and showed everybody. It leaked to my department. Then someone leaked it to the news. The news in San Francisco blared our real names and it was a big scandal for about three weeks. That's how my family found out. They weren't happy about it."

Duke: "Was it a video clip of the two of you?"

Reina: "Yeah. And it was the cheesiest thing we'd done [Buck Adams directed it for the internet]. Couldn't they have found something better edited and shot?"

Duke: "Didn't you realize you were going to get caught? Did you want to get caught?"

Reina: "Being that I was the only woman in my department, I thought people would've kept it to themselves, or taken me aside privately."

Duke: "When you were a girl, what did you want to be when you grew up?"

Reina: "A nurse. But I spent some time in a hospital and found it too heavy duty for me."

Reina got breasts implants three years ago, moving from a small C-cup to DD-cup.

Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?"

Reina: "I went to a Catholic school. I was a rocker. Big hair band people. The nuns thought I was going to hell."

Duke: "I guess they were right."

Reina: "They're probably saying now, we knew she'd do something bad with her life.

"I keep in touch with most of my highschool friends. They say, 'You do whatever you want to do. We always knew you were freaky.'"

Duke: "How are you relationships with your family now?"

Reina: "Cordial. I still love my mom."

Duke: "They were ashamed."

Reina: "Yeah. I told them that I wasn't going to be in the business anymore, so hopefully they won't be checking any interview sites any time soon. A Catholic upbringing. We're an Asian family. Filipino-Spanish."

I talk to Joe Friday. "One of the most annoying things about this industry," he says, "is trying to figure out who you can and can not trust."

Duke: "What do you miss about your old job as a cop?"

Joe: "The salary and benefits. Getting shot at and getting in fights every night. I worked the [San Francisco] tenderloin. My seven-block area dealt with nothing but drug dealers, parolees, pimps, prostitutes, and people who were strung out. It was never getting a cat out of the tree. It was always fighting parolees.

"I now wake up every day happy to go to work. I'm much happier.

"There's a lot of stress that comes with that job. Police officers average three divorcees. I was married. Within seven months of working the street, my wife and I got a divorce."

Duke: "What are the dynamics of having a relationship in porn? Do you get jealous?"

Joe: "Any man who tells you he doesn't get jealous of his wife having sex with another male is lying."

Duke: "How did your family react to your porn career?"

Joe: "Everything happened last June. We got married in July. After the uproar. My mother was supportive. She said, whatever makes you happy. I haven't talked to my dad in years. The rest of my family threw my hands in the air and said they understood. It wasn't a big surprise for them. I got a lot more support from my family than did Reina."

I ask Lexxi Tyler about what looked like dog tags hanging off of her boyfriend Dee. Did he serve in Afghanistan or Iraq?

"Oh no," she says. "He's too much of a pretty boy for that."

Dee is in a biker group called Rough Riders.

I spend most of the night talking with Tall G-ddess.

Aghast writes: "Yikes! Did you bring her a wrist corsage and red ball gag like a gentleman?"

Genesis Skye tells me she hasn't had one drink all night. She's ditched all her druggie friends. She's gone clean.

Fred writes: "What ratio of porners to non-porners? What ratio of male to female? Any cover charge?"

One to three. Two or three to one. For men not in porn it might be $10.

Asia Carrera Plans To Home-School Her Daughter

Fred writes:

Asia reports that she plans to home school her daughter. Most interesting. If it were any other porn actress or ex-porn actress, I'd say it would be a mistake. I suspect that Ms. Carrera could do a good job. I am curious about how or whether she plans to keep her daughter from finding out about her previous career.

Axel Braun Leaves New Sensations

I heard this a month ago but didn't publish it because Axel told me it wasn't true.

Multi-award-winning director resigns over creative differences.

June 1st, 2005 (Chatsworth, CA): After eighteen months, and over 70 movies with New Sensations/Digital Sin/HotBoxxx, multi-award-winning director Axel Braun has decided to terminate his contract with the company.

"I've been working a lot for the past year and a half, and I just needed some rest" says Braun, whose series Anal Retentive and Squirting 101 have recently won awards. "Plus, I felt I had come to a creative impasse with the company. They're great people, but I just wanted to try something new and different."

Known for his big-budget features that combine intense storytelling with a special attention to artistic detail, Axel proved to be equally skilled in the gonzo format. The critical success of his feature film Compulsion, which won over 20 awards throughout the world, and the huge commercial impact of his gonzo series Squirting 101, Double Teamed, and Naughty College Schoolgirls, are clear indications of his ability to switch medium while keeping the quality at the highest standard.

So what's next for Braun? "Right now I'm just taking a break and exploring my options. And there's this big film feature I've been wanting to make for a while.we'll see." Axel Braun can be contacted at axel@axelbraun.net.

Paul Fishbein Turns Into A Work-Out Freak

It's either his fiance or some dark force that drives Paul into the gym several times a week and he's dropped over 30 pounds. Is this good or bad for porn? All I know is that the Cowboys are going to edge out the Eagles in the NFC East this year.

MelissaMidwest.com On Playboy TV's Sexcetra

Melissa posts on GFY:

I just got done watching my show on Playboy TV's Sexcetra! Not sure what took them so long but they taped the show like 10 months ago. Oh well it was on 3 times so I thought that was cool. They came out to Lincoln for 3 days and taped almost non-stop and it turned out each topic on the show are only 15 minutes long. So 3 days of shooting for 15 minutes, no wonder why it takes 6 months to shoot a 90 minute movie. I can do a whole months worth of updates in like 5-6 hours. Maybe I can help them manage their time better.

Taylor Hayes Update

Jack writes:

The guy that Taylor bugs is a early 40s rich guy who lives across the street from Mark Cuban in Dallas who owns a bunch of big businesses nationally. My mate is a movie-star handsome guy who plays Masters top-level soccer (see www.worldmasterscup.com), owns/flys three planes, has four great kids & a drop-dead gorgeous TV star wife -- the type of charismatic type who you want to hate but that he's pretty cool.

He hasn't seen Taylor (who was then Tara) in 10 years but she keeps trying to pop into the poor guy's life: not a whole lotta doubt as to why Taylor can't leave it alone. Since Taylor can't get past the wife much less get my buddy to return her calls, she tries to wreak as much havoc as she can, which is diva behavior par for the course for Hayes.

The guy's wife has also alerted my buddy's friends -- me being one of them -- that the bitch might try to use those channels to gain access. So Taylor's pretty much f---ed because the guy's cordoned off.

I don't know what she's doing and not sure that my friend knows or cares. Taylor played a big part in wrecking his life about a decade ago. If you've met the woman, you'd understand.

Becoming Orgasmic -- A Chat With the Director of the Kinsey Institute

As part of its "Brilliant Peoples" series, Science Blog commissioned author and journalist Luke F-rd to interview Dr. Julia R. Heiman, author of Becoming Orgasmic: A Sexual and Personal Growth Program for Women and the sixth director of The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University, Bloomington. Below is a transcript of their wide-ranging discussion, which touches on subjects from the sexuality of Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegone characters to why we still don't understand prison rape.

Gina Lynn Interview

I've been aware of her for five years but never interviewed her until Tuesday afternoon.

Sunday night at the PAW bowling benefit, I ran into some porn stars who said they heard about my internet column from Gina Lynn, 31, and her husband Travis Knight (they've been together seven years, married six).

That reminded me of what I must do.

4pm PST. By phone.

Duke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?"

Gina: "A veterinarian. Then I wanted to be a toll person. I thought they had the easiest job and great benefits. In my senior year at Catholic highschool, I was dancing the last six months [as soon as she turned 18] at a strip club. Then I went to six months of community college [and quit] for the easy money."

Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?"

Gina: "I didn't hang out with anybody. They were rich down-the-shore kids [in New Jersey]. I always had an older boyfriend outside of school. He was seven years older. We were together four years. We got married in 1996 when I was 22. It only lasted a year.

"I lost my virginity to my boyfriend in eighth grade. I was 14.

"I was stripping in New Jersey. In 1994, I saw this club, Al's Cabaret in Pennsylvania, on TV. I went and auditioned there. I thought that if it made TV it must be a great place. That's when I first started seeing all the features and the porn stars. The first feature act I saw was Blondage. I was a house girl. A lot of them features gave me numbers for magazines.

"I did my first movie in 1999 with Travis Knight, who I'm still with. Eighteen in Vegas. It was for Mad Jack. I became a contract girl in 2000 with Pleasure Productions. They are based out of New Jersey. I was with them for three years. For the last 18-months, I've been with Club magazine. They started a DVD company. I've shot three or four features for them. I'm probably going to re-sign (the contract runs out this month). I'm in their magazine every month.

"I'm negotiating to be able to do a certain amount of scenes each month for my own production company -- Gina Lynn Productions. Exquisite (owned by Jerry and Alex at Juicy) distributes my stuff."

Gina's done about 60 movies in her career.

Gina became a big star in 2002. "I was in Analyze That. I did a music video with Eminem. He saw me in Analyze That. I did the Sopranos. I'm always going to New York doing auditions even if they don't want a porno star."

Duke: "How did you like working on Analyze That?"

Gina: "I was Billy Crystal and Robert De Niro for eight hours doing the bar scene over and over again. They were nice to me and very respectful. There were a lot of girls there. I made the number one cut. You don't know how much they're going to use. I was cast as an extra. They showed me for a good 30-seconds. My full body and everything. They used me in promotion for the movie."

Duke: "When you audition in mainstream, do people hold it against you that you're a porn star?"

Gina: "The casting directors take out my pictures when I meet them. About three times I got picked for stuff and they thought my name was too well known and got turned down. Or someone will say, you look familiar. It was easier for me to do stuff in 2001 when nobody knew who I was. Some people are open to it but a lot aren't. I earned my SAG card."

Duke: "Anyone try to put you on the casting couch?"

Gina: "That hasn't happened, thank G-d. Of course on the music video everybody was hitting on me. But that's music video people."

Duke: "What do you love and hate about your work in the porn industry?"

Gina: "I hate that everybody [outside the industry] disparages me. They think that all porn stars act like porn stars. But that's just in the movies. I live on the East Coast. My friends out here have normal jobs. They're nurses and stay-at-home mothers. Just certain people judge me on it."

Duke: "Do you find being a porn star socially isolating?"

Gina: "I'm a quiet person. It takes a lot of people to get into me. I'm naturally reserved. When the camera's on, I change into a different person. But I'm shy. If you ever met, you'd think I was a bitch or you'd understand. People don't know how to take me.

"Being a porn star expands my social world. People know who I am. When I'm in the city, I get into more events. Things happen easier. In mainstream, it can be both (confining or expanding). Back home I have my friends and my family who support me.

"If I go to a nightclub at home, I have to have somebody with me or I get bothered all night."

Duke: "How did your family react when you became a stripper and a porn star?"

Gina: "[In highschool] I made the mistake of leaving my answer machine up high and I had an agent booking me. My mom freaked out. She called the agent up and asked what was going on. But I was very headstrong. I said mom, 'I'm 18. I'm not going to stop what I'm doing. If you want me to move out, I'll move out.' She was more concerned about my safety. It blew over and now she completely supports me."

Duke: "When you were in highschool, did your friends know you were a stripper?"

Gina: "Yeah. They were weird about it. They thought I was a slut. When I took my boyfriend to the prom, he was 27."

Gina got her first breast job in 1995, moving from a B-cup to a C-cup with the help of saline implants. "You could see the rippling. Three years ago, I changed them to a full D-cup. Silicone is softer."

Duke: "Did breast implants change the way people reacted to you?"

Gina: "Being a stripper, I made more money. When I had the full Bs, they were nice, but the girls with the bigger boobs made all the money. It didn't matter if you were prettier. Nowadays it's different."

Duke: "Did you notice a difference in the way ordinary people reacted to you?"

Gina: "Oh yes. Even now I still try to hide my chest. I wear the tightest sports bra I can. I don't like attention unless I'm on stage or at a convention."

Duke: "What's important to maintaining a relationship in porn?"

Gina: "We understand it's a business. We're not perfect. We have our days because we both work with other people.

"I can't shoot for my own production company now because of my contract with Club. We're negotiating that.

"Sometimes I'll see a girl come in to work with Travis for my company and I'll think she's not up to par. I'd rather he worked with a hot girl. He tells me it doesn't matter what the girl looks like as long as she has a good attitude."

Duke: "Do you get jealous?"

Gina: "Sometimes I do. I think we both do. It lasts for about a day and I get over it."

Duke: "How do you like the AVN shows?"

Gina: "By the third day, I'm exhausted. It's fun to meet your fans and get good lines."

Duke: "How do you feel about getting older?"

Gina: "I feel good. I'm just glad that I've got a production company so that when I stop performing, I have that behind me. I'm 31. I look a lot younger than some of the girls I see who are 23. When I see a young girl, and I say, wow. I don't know if she's on drugs or if she's tired. I take care of myself. I go to the gym. I put sunblock on my face."

Duke: "How long have you been blonde?"

Gina: "In 2000, I was a redhead. Then it just got lighter and lighter. I naturally have dark hair because I'm Puerto Rican and Italian. The blonde hair works for me. I still have the exotic look. When I was feature dancing on the road, I swear my money tripled when I turned blonde."

Duke: "What do you do in your spare time?"

Gina: "I go bike riding. We live on three acres in the middle of nowhere. I have a little dog, a shiatzu, who goes everywhere with me. Yesterday I pulled weeds. I try to go to the gym four days a week. I'm on the road two-to-three weeks a month."

Gina wants to start a mainstream business, perhaps a restaurant.

Joseph Elkind Vs. John Bennett

For years these guys were partners with Cyber Entertainment Network. Then, in 2002, JB, with the help of his attorney Steve Workman, locked JoeE out of the business.

Despite rumors that these former friends were settling their differences, a hard-fought legal case goes on.

Here's a copy of some of the publicly-filed legal work from Joseph Elkind's team:

The Case of Fraud Perpetrated By John Bennett Against Joseph Elkind

This document is a compilation of the evidence of fraud, diversion of dunds, and diversion of corporate opportunities committed by John Bennett.

Bennett's Theft Prior To The Structure Being Set Up

Bennett began his theft of funds before the structure was set up. Victoria Garrett was deposed in the case of Hurren vs. NetVision Audiotext. (NetVision AudioText was the name of the business before the offshore structure was set up.) Because Ms. Garrett was the Chief Financial Officer, she was in a position to know about the things brought out in her deposition. Therein she made it clear that John Bennett had been stealing from Mr. Elkind. He had been doing that by directing Victoria Garrett to transfer significant sums, without Elkind's knowledge, into a number of companies that he had formed. Elkind was never given his fair share of the money.

At page 177 of her deposition she testifies as follows:

Q: Last Tuesday in your deposition you also testified that, I believe, that Mr. Bennett had directed Epoch on at least one occasion to send monies to an account in Fort Lauderdale that was not a CEN account. Do you remember that testimony?

A: Yes.

Q: And you indicated at the time, I think, that Mr. Bennett had caused approximately $28,000 to be sent to this account in Fort Lauderdale. Do you remember that?

A: Yes.

Q: And again, can you describe in a little more fully the circumstances surrounding that sending of $28,000 to a bank in Fort Lauderdale? For example, I think you indicated last time that the account was set, the bank account was set up in the name of Mr. Bennett, was that your testimony?

A: Yes, he had about six or seven accounts that were set up through himself and his sister. They were various variations of JJB, BBJ, JJB, different, all the different initials used different ways with his sister's address in Pompano, and they were set up in Northern Trust and in First Union.

One of these companies was LJB Internet Services Inc. Just as testified to by Vickie Garrett, "LJB" are the initials of Bennett's sister. Attached hereto as Tab 2 is a check from LJB made payable to Edward Dinna Trust Account. This is a very surprising document. First, Elkind had no knowledge of this account. The address on the check is 2456 Bayview Dr. This is John Bennett's home address. There should be no reason to divert banking information to his home.

The payment made by this check is for the last portions of sums recovered by Bennett and Elkind in civil litigation against their insurance carrier over litigation with America Online. The total amount of the settlement was $1.125 million. Elkind was not notified of the settlement and his share of the proceeds were sent to the IRS by Bennett for back taxes. This was done without Elkind's knowledge or approval. When questioned by Dinna about this Bennett admitted that he wanted to keep the money out of Elkind's hands so it would make it more difficult to litigate.

Whether hiding this theft and presumably other theft was a reason for the set-up of the structure is an open question. However upon further investigation it has become obvious that the structure was set up for the specific purpose of defrauding Joseph Elkind.

THE DIVERTED PROPERTIES

Emailbucks

The most glaring example of diversion by Mr. Bennett is Emailbucks. This was one of the most valued properties of the structure. If one types "Emailbucks.com" into a web browser, they are taken, not to this property, bto to a property known as "Combocash." Copies of the web pages for Combocash are attached as Tab 3. Any assignment of the right to use or transfer this name was not consented to by Joseph Elkind.

At the settlement meeting in the Bahamas, Bennett first informed Elkind of the fact that he had decided to lease the name Emailbucks to Fabian Buys for the sum of $18,000 per year. Buys is an equal owner of Emailbucks with Bennett and Elkind. This $18,000 was in addition to a charge of .03 per email. Traditionally Emailbucks sent out between 40 and 60 million emails per month. At that rate, the revenue from this property alone should be approximately $15 million per year. From this revenue would come profit which would be owned 66% by the structure. Fabian Buys sent an email to John Bennett sometime before 2001 wherein he acknowledged that the profit of Emailbucks was up to $400,000 per month.

WRONGFUL MISAPPROPRIATION OF DOMAINS/WEBSITE NAMES

The businesses' most important assets are its domain names. Each domain name has what is known as an IP address. This is how traffic gets directed to the company's income producing sites. Whoever controls the domain names controls the company. Early on in the life of the structure the domain names were appropriately placed in the name of Virtual World Holdings.

This is significant because Elkind and Bennett equally, through their trusts, own Virtual World Holdings. Incident to the set up of the structure Virtual World Holdings executed a note in favor of Elkind and Bennett in the approximate amount of $14 million. The value of the note is tied directly to Virtual's ownership and control of the domain names.

In November of 2001, Elkind had yet to be excluded from the business. Without Elkind's approval and behind his back, [Steve] Workman caused the transfer of the most valuable domains to a company known as "Cog Hill." In an email from Workman to Fabian Buys' employee Shaliza Somani, he states:

Shaliza, assuming you or Fabian have begun shifting the more important domains from Virtual to Cog Hill, these cannot go directly to Cog Hill... There can be no connection seen between former CEN and Cog Hill.

So yes, these should go into Virtual, then at some point in the not too distant future, from Virtual to Cog Hill.

This is the same Fabian Buys who participated in Bennett's diversion of Emailbucks to Combocash without Elkind's approval.

It is important to note that Workman copied Bennett n the email but not Elkind. This transfer is outright theft. The purpose was to keep the domain names and consequently the value of the business out of Elkind's direct or indirect control. This would also have the effect of having the value of the Virtual note reduced.

In all of the joint requests to the POTC it states that the Virtual note has been assigned to yet another two entities Bonus Reef and Sage. The joint requests were all drafted by Richard Cahan. He knows that the Elkind portion of the note was never assigned to any entity yet he keeps insisting on putting this in the written requests. Attached as Tab 6 is the diagram of the offshore scheme prepared by Cahan.

Nowhere on this diagram does "Cog Hill" appear.

If this was anything but pure theft, it would appear. Why was it necessary? Why was Elkind's approval not sought for these transfers?

PUNDA INVESTMENTS

Some time after the structure was put in place, Bennett started and controls a company known as Punda Investments A.V.V. This also does not appear on the offshore diagram. There is a substantial amount of money that has been diverted to Punda. The documents show approximately $30,000 per week being transferred to Punda and consequently Bennett. Weekly reports for Punda are attached as Tab 7. Also attached are confirmations of wire transfers of this money.

These are not legitimate transfer of money. It is a simple diversion of money. Net Management maintains a log of payments to webmasters. This is the only type of business transaction that would justify this type of payment. There is no record which support any payment to Punda.
