[edit] Publisher?
I can't find any information about who the publisher for this magazine is. Is it one of the two that are mentioned in the article? (Man's World Publications and Crescent Publishing Group)? Where can I find out?—Nicer1 (talk • contribs) 01:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
It's published by Blue Horizon Media, formerly Crescent Publishing, formerly Drake Publishing. They're a privately held, tightly run, organization owned by the reclusive pornographer Carl Ruderman. They also publish High Society, Cheri, Playgirl, Hawk, Live Young Girls, and several other titles. In 2001 the company was indicted for over 200 million dollars in credit card fraud deriving from the billing practices of their websites. Then president Bruce Chew was charged criminally and linked to the Gambino Crime family. Ruderman escaped prosecution, alleging he was out of the country at the time. Documentation of this incident can be found on the Playgirl and High Society wikipages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.224.160.164 (talk) 15:41, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
