MindGeek, the parent company of adult entertainment site Pornhub, is being acquired by an Ottawa-based private equity firm in a deal that will see the complete exit of the pornography company’s controversial long-time owners and majority shareholders – Feras Antoon, David Tassillo and Austrian investor Bernd Bergmair.

Ethical Capital Partners, a newly formed private equity company set up by criminal defence lawyers and a former law enforcement agent with ties to the Canadian cannabis industry, announced Thursday that it had bought MindGeek in its entirety, which includes a large portfolio of adult entertainment producers and distributors beyond just Pornhub.

ECP did not disclose how much it paid for MindGeek but said that, alongside unnamed international investors who helped fund the deal, it now owns 100 per cent of the company’s shares.

I would not be surprised to learn later that this is a arms length deal, whereby the founders/owners of MindGeek remain stakeholders through the Equity Firm.

The press release in the financial times emphasizes that the former owners do not maintain any stake or control over the company.

It is possible that they keep stake on the equity firm.

Equity firm with the same name has a facebook page with 3 followers that made a post in 2020 on facebook looking to buy businesses with a turnover of between 1 and 5 million.

There is no more information about it, domain acquired 1 year ago and website hosted on wix.

It looks like it on their news page and their domain whois!
It would not be the first time just before it goes to court!

Yeah just saw the Netflix doc on them. One sided for sure. Like it said, it hurt the performers more than anything.

Yes. Someone paid for a nice Pornhub Netflix doc with smiling faces. Maybe the "new investors"? Watched with a normie. They'll believe anything. Of course.

Miguel · 04-13-2023, 11:54 AM

So are they on the way to return VISA / MC?

Looks more like a last act of desperation.

For the Visa and Mastercard deal it would have been better not to change owners!

Now the whole thing seems completely unbelievable!
How would Visa and MC appear in public if they agreed to work with PH again after this shell trick?
