Fact #1: All girls with sites built around them ultimately go crazy.
Fact #2: They also all eventually come back.
Correllary A to #2: The exception is when they find themselves a sugar daddy.

Not a knock on Arika, I've only met her a couple of times, but by all indications is a very nice girl. I actually thought she might be one of the ones that made it. But you shouldn't judge anyone for doing what they feel is right for them. I'm sure a divorce is stressful enough without the business being intertangled into it and now the whole thing going somewhat public and impacting people who have helped them do a lot of business and in many cases have been friends.

Arika is now with NY_Tim of Mob Bucks, who posts on Oprano.com:

Over the past 4 years or so I have owned 2 public companies and its always an up hill battle.

My company Jade Entertainment Group (Mobbucks) did a reverse merge in to the public company OTEN.BB. So We owned OTEN and Jade was a sub of the public company. After about a year we pulled Jade out of the public company so Jade was private again and sold off the public company.

> What was the purpose of going public?

There are not too many public companies in the adult space and we figured we would get some spin and publicity. Well we did get that, but it was just too expensive and to hard to run an adult company under the public umbrella.
