@everyone
I would like to bring your attention to the fact that AK is just a pawn of Manwin who has done very little i.e shutting down Paypal/Payza/Moneybookers Accounts and nothing else. This has indeed made an impact on the niche "File Hosting Market".
Just take a look at his list of file lockers that have shut down. You will find that most of them are new and were hardly known. The biggest filelocker RapidShare still continues its operations flawlessly and is still accepting Paypal without any issues.



How?
Its possible because AK does not have the balls to face RS.

The real deal is ACIUF [Adult Content Industry United Foundation]

Avangate stops processing for file sharing sites starting 1st of November
Tuesday October 30th, 2012

For a while it looked like Avangate was going to be the payment processor that was the perfect hiding place for illegal file sharing sites. This week they assured us they are upholding high business standards and they even changed their AUP (http://www.avangate.com/online-payme...acceptance.php ). By doing so, all businesses that are noncompliant with their new regulations will enter in the closure process with effect from the 1st of November 2012. As a consequence, there will be at least fourteen big file sharing sites that will face difficulties.
