I don't know if XXX will like my post, but the article is publically available on the biggest french newspaper, so posting it here won't change much things...

https://mobile.lemonde.fr/m-actu/article/2018/10/12/du-web-a-penthouse-le-francais-qui-a-conquis-le-porno_5368579_4497186.html

The second half of the article is for paying customers only, but here's a summary in english for everybody :
- they first talk about the purchase of Penthouse, for 11 million $ (better than Larry Flint or Mindgeek).
- they say that the owner (xxx) likes to stay under the shadows, no real surprise here. Even his partners and actors rarely see him.
- they visited the Prague building. There's a floor for Xvideos, one for rooms for the actresses, and one for Gonzo.
- they met Petra, they describe her as a model coach. They say there's a good mood in the studio. It seems that Petra prefers more romantic scenes than the Gonzo ones...

The personal assumptions made aside, there's no such thing as bad publicity, apparently.

It's quite interesting revelation.... thanks @pastaga!!! :cool: ;)
I would like to know why xxx is investing in so many different erotic/porn companies .... he wants to monopolize the market!?! :D :eek:

To avoid copyright issues on XVideos I guess.
Like Mindgeek does with US porn companies and Pornhub / Youporn.

The more companies you own the more content you can share... :cool:

I have read the beginning of the article (using Google Translate). Very interesting to read. Sadly it isn't possible to read the entire article.
