I'm not sure if you all follow Wayne Porter, one of the columnists at revenews.com but he has recently done a number of articles about Orion Holtby and Direct Revenue.
You can read all of the articles here: http://revenews.com/wayneporter/ -Chris |

![]() Both David of HDM and Mr. Orion Holtby are members of GV with posting priviliges. ![]() ![]() I said it on Wayne's blog so I guess I can do a fair use exstraction of my own post LOL: "...Respectfully, some of YOU Network geeks who insist on doing business with any old Tom or Jane could use a lesson in due dillegence. To whit, a bunch of 20 something Publishers understand what needs to be done. Do YOU? Take a gander at this thread which of course features none other than Orion and carefully read it. Exibit Y at: http://www.geekvillage.com/forums/sh...threadid=26411 .." Source: http://www.revenews.com/wayneporter/...es/000923.html I'm so very proud of our members for the due dillegence which they perform. Note: Soon the Google bot will visit and spider those names in the topic title. ![]() Last edited by Steve_S; 08-31-2005 at 11:10 PM. |

Love to chat with Orion. Been wanting to for some time. Know some other folks who'd like a word or two as well.

Very interesting to see this all come to light.
Unfortunately, Orion's previous operations and the unethical nature of the networks through whom he has operated previously have been known to Geek/Talk regulars for some time. While myself and a few others were taking the diplomatic route in trying to encourage Orion away from the "dark side" within the thread to which Steve linked, it seems that our advice failed to stick. It's terribly sad to see that others accrued losses through dealing with Orion in recent months. Hopefully HDM and other affected companies will be able to recover some of their substantial losses through appropriate legal action.

Today I actually got my July payment from them, in full and exactly how I expected. Net 30 to them means that the check is in your mailbox 30 days after the month is over, which is the way it's supposed to be. No complaints from my end from working from them. |

After careful consideration, we have decided to allow this thread to continue, but wish to assert that GeekVillage, iOnline and its proprietors have no official interest in this case. The continuation of this thread should also not be interpreted as a subjective judgement on our behalf. This does not represent our support for the case or our belief in the guilt of the accused parties, as this has yet to be proven in a court of law.
If the parties accused of these fraudulent activities are found to be guilty, however, we do wish David and other victims all the best in seeking appropriate damages and hope that this will discourage the formation and operation of fraudulent networks in the future. Members, please feel free to contact David privately or to post your information and claims here for review.
