That is funny. So maybe Josh didn't actually cheat on his wife, at least not via Ashley Madison??

Of course it was, I am sure a lot of people who had their e-mail turn up on the list who never joined had their e-mail used to create a fake female profile to scam men out of money, it happens on a lot of other online dating sites too.

Duh. Its pretty obvious that it was one giant sausage fest. Men blowing perfectly good money to congregate on a site with other men and hit on "females" that were fake profiles being ran by even more men.

This is not surprising at all. Ashley Madison's website is what 900 number group chat line's of the 80's and 90's were. 99% men.

I'm curious to know if any of those men even scored from the site. Wouldn't it be funny to learn that no affairs were had? Didn't a lot of men even pay something like a $250 affair guarantee fee which supposedly increased their chances? Gah! Oh, to be on the $ earning end of that scheme.

I am sure some men had affairs, but now that you mention it- how many women are so desperate for sex that they are going to actively seek out married men? Most women interested in being promiscuous have plenty of willing suitors- who are not married.

Would it be considered fraud? A lot of people of the comments on that story were saying the CEO could go to jail for committing fraud but I wasn't sure about that.

It's a no brainier. This has been done since the advent of 900#/telephones. Taking advantage of desperate lonely men is nothing new; it's big business.
