    Fabian Thylmann, Owner Of Pornhub And YouPorn, Arrested On Tax Evasion Charges In Germany

    BERLIN — Prosecutors say the German owner of the popular YouPorn and Pornhub websites has been arrested on suspicion of tax evasion.

    Fabian Thylmann was arrested last week on a German warrant and is currently in custody in Belgium, where he lives. Ulrich Bremer, a spokesman for prosecutors in Cologne, said Tuesday that several properties including his home were searched last week.

    Bremer says it isn't clear when Thylmann might be extradited to Germany. He could not say whether anyone else is under investigation or give further details of the case.

    YouPorn and Pornhub are among the 110 most popular sites on the planet, according to Web information company Alexa.

    So the big question are the sites safe ? ! !

    I wouldn't like to be involved in that search. There's no way I'd touch anything in his house. I'm assuming absolutely everything is covered in ejaculate.

    I'd say it costs a fortune to run them sites, poor lad is probably broke.

    YouPorn and Pornhub are among the 110 most popular sites on the planet, according to Web information company Alexa.

    safe to assume one/both ranked between 101 and 110. I'd imagine that if ranked in the top 100, they'd just say that instead of top 110

    Can someone confirm, the company 'Manwick' which over sees the running of the said sites that this guy is the MD of is floating on the New York stock exchange?

    That's absolutely true and share value will be linked to the price of Kleenex.

    If Youporn isn't even in the top 100 I've seriously underestimated the amount of porn on the internet.

    With all those "secretaries" and "college professors" that feature in the videos on that site, I'm surprised they have problems with the tax man
