More drama in the affiliate network space...

Judge granted the injunction ceasing all assets of Josh Todd, Mike Guida, and the Blacktie Affiliate Network.

GetAds proceeds on with the lawsuit seeking attorneys fees, lost revenues and damages to the company.

Copy of injunction here-
Further details over at Shoe's blog-


Looks like more affiliates getting shafted...
 


theft of trade secrets? lol, but black tie is getting what they deserve - but getads was founded in almost the same way
 
Yes, I'm a member here. All I can say about the Shoemoney post is don't believe everything you read on the internet. There is always two sides to every story. The injunction is real, but the rest is Jeremy's (misguided) opinion, not fact. I also love that he won't approve any comments from our affiliates and business partners defending us. Classy.

The reason the injunction happened in the first place is not because Black Tie was proven guilty in a court of law, it's because I decided that the easiest and cheapest way to move past this mess was to shut everything down. Since Black Tie was just a fledgling network, it is not worth my time or money to spend hundreds of thousands litigating this thing over the next year or two.

That being said, it was and is my intention to get all of the affiliates paid out every penny they are owed. There was a last minute change made to the injunction stating that ALL Black Tie's proceeds, not just profits, should be frozen. I don't think that is right because the money belongs to the affiliates, not to me or Black Tie. I am in the process of negotiating this as we speak, and I will issue payments to affiliates as soon as I am able.
 
Josh I give you credit for showing up in the thread and claiming your side of the story. I'm not going to say you don't deserve what comes, but it's sad to see this happen.
 
Hydra/W4 bros?

ouch that shoe post is scathing

but i thought this comment was pretty funny:

Funny how out of all networks out there, GetAds is the one that is involved in this – LOL.

Does anyone know who or what GetAds is? If not, let me explain to you; GetAds is an affiliate network started 2 years ago from all ex-employees at Media Breakaway. Let’s not talk about “stealing affiliates” or “stealing advertisers” these affiliates and advertisers are not out there to be GetAds bitch and want to run with just GetAds.

Let me clarify for you:
George Avery, CEO – Previously worked at Media Breakaway
Pat Avery, COO – Previously worked at Media Breakaway
Caryn Stoll, CFO – Previously worked at Media Breakaway
Jamie Stephenson, Vice President – Previously worked at Media Breakaway
(These are just the “executives” of GetAds, there is many more employees that were stolen from Media Breakaway, but no need to post them all since you get my point).

The question is now, Jeremy – Why don’t you post “George Avery – Scum of the Industry” for stealing from his friend Scott Richter?

Btw, I’m only posting this because when GetAds first started, I remember my ex-rep from Media Breakaway referred me and told me to run with GetAds and don’t run with Affiliate.com or CPAEmpire at the time anymore.
