Ashley Madison offers £300,000 reward amid reports of member suicides

We had several closeted Republicans in my own family. My staunchly Democrat great grandfather died and they all came out of the woodwork. Course, should have known given their devoted church going ways.

I came for the sexual repression. I stayed for the funky hat with a buckle on it.

Seriously.  A hat with a damned buckle.  Genius.

And repressed Puritan women are pretty fun behind closed doors

That's where there were only so many fucks that could be given

What I discovered was that the world of Ashley Madison was a far more dystopian place than anyone had realized. This isn't a debauched wonderland of men cheating on their wives. It isn't even a sadscape of 31 million men competing to attract those 5.5 million women in the database. Instead, it's like a science fictional future where every woman on Earth is dead, and some Dilbert-like engineer has replaced them with badly-designed robots.

So it's like Cherry 2000 (except for all the dead women).

Was Ashley Madison .......... cheating?

That's even worse than I thought.

Found this interesting.

Both the Impact Team and disgruntled users of Ashley Madison have called the site fraudulent, mostly because the company charged men to shut down their accounts

I'd hope for Ashley Madison's sake they kept the company thinly capitalized.

I used to audit a company that was both highly profitable and in a rather dodgy business. As soon as assets came in the door, they were paid out as dividends and they stayed loaded with massive amounts of debt.

It would be amusing to discover that Ashley Madison has like $50k in assets and is loaded with debt many times that.
