7. A few things...

but first - Full Disclosure: Sahar Sarid is a friend. I've known him for 15 years, and watched him build this business. I thought he sold his interest. I'll have to ask him.

- The info is public. Any good background check will reveal it. So where is the crime?

- I don't see a legitimate case of Extortion. Maybe I'm being myopic.

- If someone launched Pedophiles.com and did the same thing would it be different?

I am thinking one important problem is they list Arrests and do not adequately disclose outcome or sentencing etc. Perhaps that's the issue.

Still processing...
