Do not blatantly lie. I just cross checked what you said and that does not add up. Not sure what “porn site” you’re talking about, the website was clearly fashion focused. This stuff is an easy google search away…

/u/CI-AI I talked to one of the final two employees at Fanzter who told me all of the details. I don't want to type it out in public right now because I have to spent more time than I have putting clear references in place, but feel free to DM me to chat informally. The TLDR is that Disney had no interest in Fanzter Inc. or their flagship app Coolspotters but Disney did purchase some IP from Fanzter Inc with the intention of 'repaying their investors' as the company was shutting down and they wanted to hire the final CEO and another engineer. The person didn't know who Eric was and had to look him up because he left long before any of this and from this person's point of view, wasn't involved in the acquisition.
