This was one of the biggest scams going, read the entire acticle.

Crescent is much to blame for the VISA regs we see today, they ripped off people to the tune of $100's of millions.

Looks like Serge could be the next one whose mugshot we see. About time he paid the price for ripping off consumers.

According to Luke Ford, a pioneer blogger and keen observer of the Internet porn scene, the scheme was able to roll up such huge numbers because of deals Crescent made with two Internet traffic brokers ? Serge Birbrair and Yishai Habari ? that resulted in millions of porn-seeking surfers a day being directed to the sites.

fudpuck · 02-15-2005, 10:22 AM

Ouch. Crescent pushed misleading billing to the max for sure.

Never sent them one hit.... In fact, I was traffic brokering myself back in the day 250k+ hits a day, I knew I could have made 2-3x as much doing biz with them, but I decided not to. I never got a penny from them.

The internet end only made 230 Million?

Wow! They actually could have done better if you think about it!

BradShaw · 02-15-2005, 10:39 AM

Many people fail to understand that the problems we have with billing started with this major scam. It has hurt the industry, and will be covered throughly in my book. Names will be named. Hopefully, many will be indicted by then.
