Despite their claims that this type of thing has never happened before doing some research shows that it has. “John Minue” from TalkSugar appears to have had his hands in another debacle in the adult industry. That of the ill fated Nexusxi.com. For those that used to read the old PSOBoards here is a link to a post that describes a bit about what happened but a google search will give some more information as well on the whole what happened with Nexus issue…

Now TalkSugar claims that they were innocent victims and their hands were clean…if that is so why is it that John Minue was on the list of officers for Nexus? Makes you wonder doesn’t it:

NEXUSXI.COM is/was probably a payment center link. Previously they were
registered in Nevada, but defaulted in Feb 2005:

From the looks of the porn chat threads in some of those links (use the
google cache) it appears that nexusxi had their assests seized and even
had the porn operators reporting them to the Edmunton police…
