Timeline
- In 2004, Microsoft sued Radvinsky for allegedly sending millions of deceptive emails to Hotmail users, but the case was eventually dismissed.[2]
- In 2018, he bought a 75% stake in OnlyFans' parent company Fenix International Ltd from its British founder Tim Stokely.[4][5] After this, OnlyFans became increasingly focused on not safe for work (NSFW) content and "gained a pop culture reputation for being a hive of pornography".[5]
- In August 2020, Forensic News described him as a "porn entrepreneur ... with a history of lawsuits and allegations of spam, theft, fraud, and drug dealing."[6]
- In May 2021, The Guardian described Radvinsky as a "US-based online pornography veteran who largely chooses to avoid the media."[7]
