This evening, Bart Heart sent me an offline IM with links to three announcements posted by Second Life International Business(SLIB) CEO Tyrian Camilo. Please click here for the main announcement page.

While I'm not one to jump when a CEO throws me a few links, I had to make a note of this. How could I not?

When Camilo acquired WJUV, a company owned by the now-delisted Atlas Venture Capital(AVC), the owning company had been halted by VSTEX pending an investigation. As I've noted several times, I was the de facto chairman of the AVCIC, the committee appointed by AVC shareholders to investigate potential wrongdoing by then-CEO Monkey Canning. In the AVCIC Final Report , I criticized the transaction as fraudulent on Canning's behalf and where Camilo and Intlibber Brautigan where concerned, a decision of questionable integrity.

But Camilo, who has reportedly dabbled in the notorious 'ad farm' method of selling land at extortive prices, is learning: You play with fire and you get burned.

Based on the announcements, Camilo's request for the domain transfer of WJUV's website, WJUV.com, was met with a request by our ol' pal Frank Corsi (former SL: Jasper Tizzy): Pay me for my 50,000 WJUV shares, first.

Whether Corsi owned any shares is unknown, but Camilo was quick to announce that his 'lawyer' had been contacted. Some six hours later, Camilo posted a third announcement to report that the website had since been sold to Valentine Heart Inc (VHI) CEO Bart Heart, despite Corsi's offer to sell it to Camilo for $30 USD. Camilo decried this transaction as unfair and, again, alluded to a possible litigation.

As part of the AVCIC, I asked Camilo about the terms of this acquisition of WJUV. Camilo scolded me and accused me of trying to learn his 'business secrets.' Apparently those 'secrets' didn't involve having the domain transferred immediately after his acquisition.

When asked of his plans for the WJUV.COM website, Heart informed me that he would be selling it for a profit and donating the proceeds to AVC shareholders who were wrongly deprived of WJUV as an asset. How this will impact WJUV shareholders is unknown.

While I do not intend to follow-up to this article, I welcome any official statement by CEO Heart and commend his efforts.

Any chance we could get you to buy the WSE website, Mr. Heart?

Update:

VSTEX provided me with an 'official' transcript from a discussion between Tyrian Camilo, Bart Heart, and others. You may find it below or here

While I highly doubt that Camilo will carry his threat of a 'final resolution(16:32)' to fruition, updates will follow as necessary.
