Just facts about Joe Elkind :
Joe Elkind is a pillar in the community :
In 1993, the budding entrepreneur's luck turned for the worse when he was arrested on four counts of cocaine delivery after police alleged he sold drugs to two undercover detectives on four occasions. In April 1995, Elkind received two years' probation for the charge -- only to violate his probation three months later when court-ordered drug tests revealed cocaine in his system. Then in April 1996, he got in trouble again when Chris Steele, his former boss at Lens Express, complained to police that Elkind used his truck to ram an electric gate on the company's property, causing $7,000 in damage.
In 1994, General Lens began selling contact lenses over the Internet. That's when Elkind says one of his partners approached him with a business idea. "He came to me with some adult pictures and wanted to know if I could market them," Elkind says. Believing there was much money in adult entertainment on the web, Elkind soon shifted his focus to pushing porn. In 1996, he partnered with Fort Lauderdale resident John Bennett to found Netvision Audiotext. Soon, he says, the company was earning millions of dollars per year.
Although excited about his newfound success, Elkind contends he was a hesitant pornographer. "But when you're making that much money, who cares [what people think]?" reasons Elkind, who claims that Netvision grossed $100 million in 2001.
But Elkind's most prominent court appearance by far came in a landmark lawsuit filed in January 2001. America Online claimed that Netvision had violated anti-spam and member-service agreements by sending unsolicited e-mails advertising porn sites to AOL subscribers. AOL also asserted that commissions were paid to webmasters, many of whom were younger than 18, to send the e-mails. The case was covered by newspapers including the Los Angeles Timesand Newsday, and was later settled for an undisclosed sum.
One more fact, Matt Dwyer has never been convicted of a crime.
