Republish Humpday: MySpace Tom's Porno Past

I know, I know, I shouldn't mess with Tom, but it's all in good fun. From Valleywag:

Multiple anonymous sources have reported that MySpace's co-founder and
poster boy Tom Anderson ran a porn site on the side of his day job. He was
fired, says one source, when the company caught him running his site while on
the clock.
The site was called TeamAsian.com [now redirects to GreatDate.com].
Another source says Tom photographed the models himself, and that Tom was almost sued for sexual harrassment. But, says this source, Tom sold the site to a
domain parking company and blocked access from the Internet Archive's Wayback
Machine.
According to porn review sites PornWizzard and Sexgine.com [NSFW],
TeamAsian.com is for sale at $360,000. (I made a quick call to the listed
number, and the operator told me that BuyDomains.com is still selling the
domain. He had no info about previous owners.)
One source made a few other comments about Tom, but this is a family site, so we won't reprint them. But we want more on the story -- especially if you can confirm the more devious accusations against Tom. E-mail tips@valleywag.com or AIM
