“It’s a damn shame that most people couldn’t understand it,” Latona said. “On hindsight, we made it too complicated. The sad fact is that people actually would make more money if they sent their advertising traffic through the Dollars.com platform. The innovative Revenue Per 1000 impressions technology proved it in the numbers.”
Vinci Holding has acknowledged that it owes money to several affiliate programs that paid setup fees to join the exchange and said it will honor its commitments but offered no specific information regarding timelines.
“They will be notified separately and best efforts will be made to ensure no bridges are burnt (sic),” Latona said.
Latona said the company is soliciting offers regarding Dollars.com software. He said Vinci Holding may sell the domain, but expects to get more interest from financial institutions than the adult entertainment community. He said the company’s Dollars.com patents are not for sale, but any party that bought the software would be granted a perpetual license.
Dollars.com had long been the subject of rumors regarding possible patent disputes with similar, more established programs, but no lawsuits were ever filed.
