FriendFinder Networks Wins Judgement Against Match.com's PlentyOfFish

CAMPBELL, Calif. — FriendFinder Networks Inc. (FFN), operator of adult dating site AdultFriendFinder.com, announced yesterday “a judgement in its favor against Match.com subsidiary PlentyOfFish in the amount of $116,000.”

According to FFN, the judgement in favor of FFN subsidiary Medley.com Incorporated was submitted for filing in California at the Santa Clara County Superior Court.

“In 2019, FFN discovered it had overpaid PlentyOfFish for members sent to AdultFriendFinder over the course of a business relationship that goes back to 2011,” a rep explained. “Unfortunately, PlentyOfFish refused to correct this overpayment by refunding the extra monies, and it was necessary to file litigation. FFN has paid over $13 million since 2011 for the members PlentyOfFish sent to its adult websites.”

“The litigation concluded when PlentyOfFish offered entry of judgment for a reduced amount, having successfully whittled down the amount owed by arguing legal statutes of limitations applied,” said the FFN rep.

FFN’s Director of Strategic Development Gunner Taylor said, “While we were not happy with the ethics that required this case to be filed, we are satisfied [the] legal judgment was entered in our favor.”

”We are also proud that our industry-leading sex hookup site and best-of-class live cam models provided enjoyment for the over one million members of PlentyOfFish sent to us over the years,” Taylor added.
