Is there a specific section on here that I should use to advertise my website? Just wanted to make sure I asked before posting about it ...

Thanks!

I have really enjoyed the first segment of the set and I can't wait to see the next segment to this. I really enjoyed also seeing what Leo looked like finally and now we all want to see Gladiator to LOL! Thanks for doing this Les.

Free Lunch Room is not a trustworthy site. FLR's administration has a history of lies, deception and even fraud. Hopefully others can research FLR, Prizebook and their history.

Yes, pretty sure. Gladiator's name is Anthony btw.

Leo and Gladiator opened Prizebook together. They were banned from other forums before FLR existed. In late 2006 they had a $50,000 contest -- $1000 to 50 people. FreeIpodGuide was one of the major forums at the time, and Gladiator (known as JohnJimJones on FIPG) just happened to be one of only three or so known winners (In other words, they claim 95% of winners did not belong to a freebie forum). It was claimed that JJJ (Gladiator) did not work for Prizebook, but it was obvious to everyone that he did.
There was supposed to be one winner per state, and then at the last moment, in just about every state, new names suddenly appeared on the leaderboard. Just as JJJ happened to "predict" a couple of days before. Prizebook claimed that the site was hacked, but then that all of the winners were legit.

Today Leo claims that he was only the "CEO" of Prizebook at that time and wasn't involved in it's operations, but of course that's also not true. It was a 2-man operation, not a big company. And Leo's story has actually changed since late 2007 when he said that he had never owned Prizebook and actually announced on FLR that he was buying them and was the new owner...

Funny thing about the internet -- time may pass but the original forum threads, interviews, etc, don't disappear. Just takes some googling, some searches at FreeipodGuide, maybe a trip to archive.org, etc
I hope more people take the time to do their own research and not take the man's word for it.

Well-cut interview. Nice camera work.

I'd love to hear Leo name the affiliate network that he supposedly owned lol. Considering that that never happened.
