BlazingBucks Responds To Mr. Marcus’ Statements
Lake Forest, CA – August 23, 2012 – In the wake of the syphilis outbreak and immediately following, OverBoard Video, the production arm for BlazingBucks, has stopped all production.
"All directors were contacted immediately to act on the side of caution to prevent any possible future contagion following the recent outbreak involving five possible porn-performer cases," said Mark Blazing from OverBoard Video. Unfortunately, a male performer that could be part of the propagation of the virus has been implicated as performing on one of the productions of OverBoard Video. OverBoard Video has already contacted all of the performers that could have been affected by this and has offered to pay for the various testing and potential medication needed for said performers.
OverBoard Video is currently evaluating what future actions to take regarding what has been confirmed to be an altered test result. A subsequent test received directly from the performer has shown some inconsistencies and the performer has since admitted to the press that he indeed altered his test results by removing certain information from the document pertaining to his positive syphilis result.
OverBoard Video/Blazing Bucks firmly believes that security and the health of performers is a critical matter to be handled with the utmost care.
“The reason the male performer was allowed to perform with us on August 7 was because he provided an altered test result that made no indication that he had tested positive for syphilis,” Blazing said.
It has now been admitted by the male performer that he intentionally altered the test results by concealing a positive result for syphilis.
As recently admitted by the male performer, an altered test result was provided to Mark Blazing on the day of production, August 7. It was not until several days later, after the initial reports implicating a high-profile male performer as being positive for syphilis, that Mark Blazing once again reviewed the test provided to him by this male performer on the day of production and noticed an inconsistency in the test result which contained no indication of a positive syphilis testing.
An investigation was immediately pursued by Mark Blazing.
“Finally, it is now also clear that the male performer who has come forward knew of his syphilis infection status contained in his test results before the production and he intentionally took actions to avoid disclosing it. This is clearly unacceptable and exceeds all bounds of tolerable conduct. At the very least, OverBoard Video will never contract with this performer for future productions, or any other performers that would provide false or altered test results.
The intentional altering of medical records to bypass rules and regulations of the industry cannot be characterized as a “mistake” or any “loophole.” We must demand integrity on the part of all of the performers to insure the safety of the performers. Such intentional misconduct must be confronted for what it is. This was not simply a “mistake” and by making excuses for someone who alters test results, for whatever reasons, may encourage others to engage in similar misconduct. This is not acceptable. This incident would have been prevented had the rules in place been followed by the performer.

There is no industry requirement for syphilis testing or results. How can you alter a test that is not required?
I give this company credit for being honest, taking responsibility for what happened on one of the sets of their movies and not only owning up to the problem but offering to pay for extra testing and meds for those who were possibly at risk.
This is the way others should have done it. They admitted the problem, apologized, and then offered a solution. Huge kudos for them.
Yes, but the fact remains that Blazing himself, or someone attached to the production, accepted a test document presented on A CELL PHONE PHOTO, where the complete doc in all detail could not be read! Then at the scheduled shoot, apparently NOBODY asked to examine the actual doc, not even the other talent with whom Mr. Marcus was to work. Dumb, dumber, and dumbest all working in concert.
Note to ALL performers: NEVER, NEVER, NEVER work with ANY performer without physically examining his/her test document, making sure it is current, not a copy, and not altered in any way. Accept no substitutes.
It’s common for producers to receive docs via fax or email PDF at the time of talent booking or prior to a scheduled shoot, and therein lies opportunity for falsification as well. An original test doc presented on-set is the only acceptable clearance for a performer to work, period. The industry has gotten lax with its protocols, and this is what results.
