Vince Russo with an update

Russo wants to be fucking cute. That's fine. Until I got this e-mail this morning:

I am fully aware that some of your monthly subscriptions rolled over today prior to my announcement that I was no longer a part of Pyro&Ballyhoo.com. This took place as a function of Paypal being that tomorrow is the first of the month. I want to assure you, that I will be looking into and addressing this matter on your behalf first thing Monday morning. Unfortunately this situation is now out of my hands and has turned into a legal matter. Therefore I cannot further comment on the situation at this time. As soon as I can, The BRAND will be the first to know Nothing at all has changed in my heart---the BRAND ALWAYS HAS and ALWAYS WILL come first. The circumstances that took place early this morning were not of my doing and something that I was truly not expecting, nor prepared for. Last but not least, you have my absolute word that The BRAND will return bigger and badder than ever!

Peace.

Now. Now I'm pissed off. Russo's bill of goods about the recurring subscription through PayPal is true in that how that specific feature of PayPal works. I own a shared web hosting company and deal with people that are pissed off about auto-renews several times a week. What Russo is saying about the auto-renew withdrawing on a Saturday when Sunday is the first of a month is not true.

Two. Russo whining about how he got locked out of the site. He doesn't mention (that I heard) that he's locked out of the PayPal account. He doesn't mention what bank account is linked to the PayPal account. The site itself was built with WordPress. WordPress is extremely easy to hack. I could knock one down pretty much in my sleep. There are ways to harden WP's security. I know, from looking at how P&B was setup that whoever did is was a fucking idiot. Stupid, stupid simple things to make hacking a WP site were not done.

There may be some truth to what Russo is saying but some of it is in direct conflict with things I know to be facts through my own experiences.
