This Adam Levin guy sounds like a scam artist. I bet they fleece bebo of its assets and sink the ship. Another scam of shareholder value!

However, anyone who did get bought out of this on the sale to Time Warner should be just thanking god for such an outcome. This is potentially the worst deal in the 21st century. $900M incinerated. Amazing. all that said, I would not count out Criterion just because they are not a traditional media player or another platform. Other than Facebook, I don’t know of anyone making any money on this sort of social media – so a more business like look at things might help the matter out.
