The story was broken by <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/12/23/adult-friendfinder-files-to-go-public/" target="_blank">Techcrunch</a> and this seems like a <a href="http://bub.blicio.us/adult-friendfinder-to-take-your-affairs-public/" target="_blank">huge leap</a> for the adult network.</p>
<p>Little known Russian investment bank <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.rencap.com');" href="http://www.rencap.com/eng/">Renaissance Capital</a> is representing them in the deal. The company hopes to raise $460 million in the IPO.</p>
<p>Penthouse <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/12/11/confirmed-penthouse-buys-adultfriendfinder-for-500-million/">acquired Adult FriendFinder</a> in December 2007 for approximately $400 million. Currently the network has $244 million in revenues from the first three quarters of 2008.</p>
<p>This seems like a very <a href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-recession-good-for-adult-business-penthouse-owner-friendfinder-files-fo/" target="_blank">interesting</a> move by FriendFinder Networks. It shows that there is simply just so much money in the adult industry online and now they are looking to move public and grow the services even faster, while cashing out at the same time.
