If the ads are not coming from him, then why does he know that they account for 25% of his revenue and that it was a hard decision to let go of them. How could it be a difficult decision if you have no knowledge of them? Or, Peasach did know, and maybe they weren't his ads, but apparently no problem in re-monetizing them and taking his cut. Joke. Right Media should suspend Vizi from the Exchange for a month and watch the complaints drop like a ton of bricks. Hilarious!

Wow I want to be honest here, and also see if there is something we can work out. I know exactly how you generate your traffic - I have videos, log files from both my own computer, I know about the ads being in 1x1 pixels.. and so on...from three other networks, Ben Edelman, and independently from Yahoo. If you want to google me, you can find that I created one of the first electronic crimes task forces for the US Secret Service. I'm not here to judge or accuse you, but no need to deny it. That being said, I like your traffic because of targetting needs and getting information for visitors and some other things. Let's be honest here moving forward - I know the ads aren't going on those sites, and some of our clients we have had to refund. I do however, need lots of cheap traffic in general... and willing to work knowing that is shitty cheap traffic that is going on a bunch of shit and so on. If you are willing to be honest with me moving forward, we will create an account moving forward, I dont care where it goes, etc...but we will not be putting our brand clients etc on there and so on. You will not be paid for the old traffic in full, we will do some payments based on what was usable, but you will be paid in full moving forward if you agree to this deal. If you don't agree and want to deny this, I'm just going to ignore you and we will go our seperate ways. Either way, I have no plan in doing anything else with this information, because its not my business what you do with your business. best, Pesach Lattin Vizi Inc / Vizi Direct Please read this email from the one and only Pace: I had a bad publisher and he wants to buy this traffic!

If you would like to contact me, I can show you log files and so on of where they came from and how they worked.
