Friendfinder Networks, home to Alt.com and AdultFriendFinder.com, filed its initial public offering with the US Securities and Exchange Commission at the close of 2008, but has found only one underwriting bank. Suspicions as to why others have been slow to sign on point to “reports… suggesting that some of the sex listings on Adultfriendfinder.com, as well as on Web sites like Craigslist, are actually by prostitutes.” (via IHT)
