A whole castle for the Montreal king of porn
One of the bosses of the Pornhub website bought land worth nearly $ 2.3 million where he is building a palace



One of the big bosses of Pornhub, the site targeted by allegations that it allows child pornography videos to be posted there, is building a large and luxurious residence on the edge of the Saraguay woodland, in the north of Montreal.

Feras Antoon purchased two contiguous lots on Jean-Bourdon Avenue without a mortgage in July 2016 for nearly $ 2.3 million.

This Montreal businessman has been running MindGeek since 2014, which owns Pornhub and all of Playboy’s internet activities.

On these grounds, one erects there since what looks like a real castle.

The house has two floors and six indoor parking spaces, according to the description attached to the building permit issued in May 2018 that our Bureau of Investigation was able to consult. The facade of the building alone has about twenty windows.



This aerial photo testifies to the gigantism of the project.
The palace under construction is located in an affluent area just off the famous rue Antoine-Berthelet, where the mafia godfather Vito Rizzuto and his father Nicolo Sr. once lived.

Before Antoon acquired the land for his construction project, there was a small wooded area that had been the subject of litigation in 2016 reported by the Metro newspaper.

The Superior Court had overturned a by-law passed by the Ahunstic-Cartierville borough that was intended to protect this natural ecoterritory.

It was exactly from this wooded area that a sniper shot Nicolo Rizzuto Sr. to the head, through the window of his luxurious residence, in 2010.

Feras Antoon has a rich real estate portfolio in Quebec. He also owns a house worth over $ 2 million in Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson, in the Laurentians, as well as several condos in the Montreal area.

Juvenile pornography

One of its adult entertainment sites, Pornhub, has been in a storm since the publication of a New York Times report showing how easy it would be to access child pornography.

“His site is full of rape videos. It sells child rapes, revenge pornography, videos [shot without their knowledge] of women taking a shower, racist and misogynistic content [...]. A search for “girls under 18” or “14” leads in each case to more than 100,000 videos, ”alleges among others the famous American media.

Remember that users can upload videos to the video site themselves.

The Pornhub site alone attracts 3.5 billion visits per month, it is said.

Law Project

The controversy resonated in Parliament, in Ottawa, and the National Assembly in Quebec.

The federal government plans to introduce legislation early next year to force websites like Pornhub to remove illegal content, such as child pornography, from their platforms.

After PayPal, the credit card companies MasterCard and Visa announced Thursday that they will no longer process payments destined for this site.
