Well that's the PR for it yeah. But the Sierra Global and Interpay deals happened in 2013 according to filings.
Funny, Interpay was another shell Ed created. It's president on the license agreement is Ken Lelek... One of Ed's FB buddies! Lelek has an interesting past:
"Ken Lelek didn't start out to be an Internet pioneer. Back in the early '90s Lelek and a friend, Lloyd Robinson, ran an agency booking strippers for nightclubs. Lelek and some other friends, including Paul Giles, realized there was money to be made selling sex on the Internet. Pooling their money with other investors, they launched Starnet." http://www.newsweek.com/sex-bets-and-bikers-168350
