Warshavsky in Thailand
Seattle Weekly reports that erstwhile cybersleaze entrepreneur Seth Warshavsky has fled to Thailand to evade creditors. In the late 1990s, mainstream media sources dubbed Warshavsky the prince of porn, the Bob Guccione of the 90s, the Larry Flynt of the Internet and the virtual Hefner. Even this article calls him the "cyberspace wunderkind who ruled the global Internet sex world." As far as I can tell from my spot at the fringes of the online porn industry, Warshavsky's sites were never among the top porn sites in terms of visitors, subscribers or revenue. He was simply a great self-promoter who successfully bullshitted journalists who desperately wanted to profile a "Larry Flynt of the Internet."
