Wow, Joe, the only way to make this post any fishier would be to print it out and actually
staple it TO a real fish.
Let’s leave aside whatever your actual reason for wanting a three-year-old Craigslist clone
might be for the moment, and instead focus on the “project”. Here’s the website:
18分钟处破之好疼高清视频,亚洲色婷婷综合久久,出差被夫の上司持久侵犯在线观看,2021韩国理论片在线观看,国产丰满大波大屁股熟女,韩国a片大全免费看片,国内精品一区二区三区,国产草莓视频无码免费视频,中文字幕在线亚洲二区,校花腿间的玉液横流,人人弄狠狠婷五月丁香
complete with an EIN for a supposed 501c3 that’s either fake or so new the IRS hasn’t
loaded it into their databases (http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=249767,00.html ) yet.
Taking a look at the “contributor wish list”, we note Mr. Luckow is listed there; surely such
a significant addition to the project - your post says he’s on board - would merit an update.
Then we read the “business plan” (eye-bending caps preserved from original):
CAN FOUNDATION WILL RAISE CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO SPONSOR
A $10 MM PRIZE FOR THE FIRST NON-TOXIC ANTIVIRAL CURE
TO END HIV/AIDS IN A GLOBAL ERADICATION PROGRAM
TO ELIMINATE HIV/AIDS FROM THE HUMAN GENOME
Again, you’d think that going from a plan to raise contributions to sponsor a prize for people
to cure HIV to “clinical trials with Google.org ” (oddly, not listed on Philanthropy Programs for Underserved Communities - Google.org )
would merit a site update.
We’ll skip over the more Time Cube-ish parts of the plan - the benefit concert, the cell phone that doubles as
a nebulizer, the solar-powered Internet-enabled homes for Haiti, etc - and focus on the
mysterious Mr. Brando Bronzino. (sometimes Brandon Bronzino, for example here:
New Inspiring Now App Sends Positive Text Messages and Raises Money for Charity -- InspiringNow.com | PRLog )
Amazingly, CAN’s SEO is so good that their business plan comes up first on a Google search
for “Brando Bronzino”. Truly remarkable, given that he created the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame.

… or wait, perhaps not? Odd that none of the information I could find mentions him. I did find this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Yobronzino/Brando_Palomino_Bronzino
Oddly, despite the page’s claim of having “many collectors in society of the cultural elite”, Mr. Bronzino’s
work doesn’t appear to be documented anywhere accessible from the Internet. Perhaps it’s simply too
avant-garde.
We also note the amazing Artists Movie Group, which remarkably sent a representative to a
not-mentioned-anywhere Forbes Film Finance conference two years before it was founded.
Visiting their website (http://www.artistsmoviegroup.com/?page_id=10 ), we find MOAR SHOUTING and
some seriously handwavey “non-contractual first look choice” connections.
Skimming farther down the Google results for Mr. Bronzino, we find Songbook.com :

Here again, a wall of text; more vague claims; more grand plans - and more temporally-challenged
editing, since the “Revenue Model” section is entirely future-tense while the “Server Infrastructure”
(waaaaay down) talks about 4500 servers producing (present-tense) 100 Gb of traffic. In another
odd coincidence, the infrastructure description exactly matches Myspace:
At QCon London 2008, MySpace Chief Systems Architect Dan Farino indicated that the site was sending 100 gigabits of data per second out to the Internet; 10 gigabits of which was HTML content and the remainder was media such as videos and pictures. The server infrastructure consists of over 4,500 web servers (running Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, ASP.NET and .NET Framework 3.5), over 1,200 cache servers (running 64-bit Windows Server 2003), and over 500 database servers (running 64-bit Window In 2...
Finally, a small additional matter: the last bit about collecting a percentage of charitable donations.
Turns out this isn’t actually illegal, but it is regarded as unethical by some:
