100K camscore (approx. for all you sticklers)

[Kickaz]

I understand where amber is coming from. I also put a lot of hours on cam to maintain my ranks, however we don't know the deal here...this girl might be doing offline work to show for these tips.
I am not saying she is because I know nothing about her, however it is not unheard of girls escorting through mfc. If that's the case she is still working, just a different type of work I guess.
Or maybe she spends all day on Skype with this guy. We don't know and hence I can't judge her on the way she makes her money.
I am however happy for her success and any other models success out there whether they put 1h of work or 200h a month.
Answering one of the previews comments about a min hour amount for miss mfc. I don't think it matters to mfc. It's about producing results and in our business tokens are the results. That's all mfc will care about as long as the tips do not come from illegal ways.

If she is indeed escorting through MFC, I seriously doubt she's opted to get paid via MFC tokens given the percentage they take.

Perhaps she's reading avant-garde poetry to him out loud over the phone? It doesn't matter what it is he's getting out of it. There's obviously a reason MFC is this twosome's payment method of choice, and given that it's an adult site, sex work is as reasonable a guess as anything.

Lara lives in Europe and Pope lives in NYC, so that seems to not be a reasonable conclusion to draw. :twocents-02cents:

Only if both Pope and Lara are under house arrest or a travel ban.

Anyway, if he insists on shoveling money down her throat, perhaps he could just give her a credit card rather than make fools of honest cam models?

I wouldn't say that he is making fools of other camgirls. It's just another model who happened to have the good fortune of a member finding her who is willing to tip her that much. It doesn't make the rest of us fools. In fact, it would make us "fools" not to keep camming on the off-chance that that could happen to us one day. :twocents-02cents:

I'm not so sure that receiving huge tips from a member makes a model dishonest, yo. If it does, then pretty much all the models in the top... 500? 1000? who are fortunate enough to have a member (or two, or five...) routinely tip them hundreds, if not thousands of dollars every month are surely also dishonest.

It seems a little unfair to jump to conclusions, ya know? Maybe this model spends 18 hours a day with this whale tipper in Skype, maybe he's a loaded financial domination enthusiast, maybe there's a perfectly legitimate explanation for his tips... and maybe there's not. But to automatically assume that there must be something illegitimate or unfair about her Miss MFC standing is just as unfair as concluding that all top models are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars "just to sit there and look pretty".

And nobody's being made a fool of here. She's not taking money from other models. She is (by all accounts) being floated by one very rich member, who for whatever reason, has decided that she's the model who's going to benefit from his wealth and generousity. The other models aren't making any less money because of her :twocents-02cents:

Oh, I'd not have made a peep if she, at least, you know, actually sat there and looked pretty on cam, on a cam site.

Which she has done. Sat there on cam at least anyway. I assume she's pretty but have never seen her to verify. Now that she's hooked a whale tipper (through camming) she's fortunate enough to be tipped enough to not have to log hour after hour on cam.

 

[NataliaGrey]

I don't understand why she's on MFC. While it does seem like she's gotten some big tips from other members, I'm guessing like 90% of her income is from Pope. So... why not just cut out the middle man? I get that relying on one member is putting all your eggs in one basket, but it's not like she's making an effort to change that anyway.

Perhaps it's just easier for her this way, or maybe being kind of famous makes this guy happy, so he would only be interested in paying her through MFC? It doesn't really matter, just like it doesn't matter what she's doing for the tips, I just can't help but be curious. I'm sure they're both very happy.

 

[lexmark402003]

I am friends with both Lara and Pope. Yes, he tips her a lot offline, which accounts for the massive camscore (or as its called in her room, her Popescore). :lol:

Good for her. Good for him.

I gotta tell you, my first impression, when I saw a guy tipping tens of thousands of dollars in multiple offline tips is that something is seriously wrong.

Like she has information on him and is blackmailing him? Or maybe he's some sort of deranged stalker?

I'm not a shrink, but it just doesn't seem like the kind of thing a healthy, well adjusted person would do?

He, she, or they probably have lots of money, and do not even notice the spending.

Whenever I hear stories like this that sound way too good to be true, they usually are. I'm not saying that is the case here, just in general.

I've always known about the money laundering issues, but I think Mila was the first one to publicly describe it for print...

"With the Feds closing down and tightening the control on casino and poker sites, some of those [criminal] elements have found a new way of doing business: the Cam Industry. Let me make clear that this is in no way an MFC problem where I work. This is an Industry-wide problem which will need to be addressed if this industry wants to survive."

"Cam sites are ideal for laundering. The studios are being used to have girls online accepting a financed hand that uses 'dirty' money to buy the private time. The studio gets paid for the private session, the girl gets her (very small) part and so the money comes back clean," Mila says. As a result, "most Russian and Romanian studios are Mafia owned," a claim she extends to the wider developing world. The picture becomes clearer when you remember how scattered and obfuscated these networks' financial structures are—it'd be easier to confusingly launder money through a company that's somehow simultaneously based in both Hungary and Portugal.

The Eastern Bloc countries that so many cam girls call home are repeatedly mentioned in sex trafficking reports as both sources and conduits of illicit sex work—MyFreeCams has gone as far as banning all models from the Philippines, where conditions are said to be the most brutal.

[Alexandra Cole]

It seems a little unfair to speculate on why someone tips and what she might do in return.

Some people are just generous.

And, ultimately, it's between them.

 

[AllisonWilder]

I feel like it's really easy to jump to all sorts of conclusions, but without input from either Lara or Pope, it's all just speculation and insinuating that it's money laundering is a pretty unfair judgement to make without anything to back it up.

There is nothing wrong with someone getting lucky and finding a whale tipper, even if it seems that he tips exclusively while she is offline. It happens and it doesn't automatically mean that something shady is going on.

Edit: Oops, Alexandra beat me to it and did it in fewer words.

I'm not sure who Lara is or if she even works from a studio. Frankly, I don't really give a shit. I was just throwing the old adage out there... if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, along with some info that may or may not be interesting to others who visit ACF.

 

[Fay_Galore]

Im sorry but isn't this whole topic about speculation? what purpose would it have otherwise? some of the things that are being said are quite harsh (and a little on then jealous side), but unless someone actually asks either one of those, nobody knows whats up.

I for one, am quite intrigued Whatever the reason might be, it's pretty shocking how much money goes around!

But I do agree (to add to the speculation ) it doesn't make a lot of sense to keep the middle man (MFC) in most scenarios.
Unless, of course, Lara has Pope imprisoned in a cellar somewhere, making him listen to a skipping vinyl record of french chansons over and over again and feeding him drops of sugarwater in exchange for tokens. Because she needs an genuine income to show to take astronaut lessons. idk

 

[mickerd]

I'll admit using mfc as the go-between in this case doesn't appear to make much fiscal sense. It's something that will likely remain privy only to the parties directly involved.

However It doesn't strike me as all that out of place, as there are members on the myfreecams website who have accumulated wealth/income potential which vastly exceeds that of any webcam model. There are multiple examples of members buying a model a 1-2-3etc spot in the monthly contest, sometimes numerous times, for whatever reason.

IMO, If this is how this particular guy wants/enjoys to spend money, eh why not.

This comment makes me wana watch you on cam. to cool.

Lara is online right now and when I click on her model menu, her camscore says 163820, but when I click on her profile, her camscore says 14260.5. Strange! I do have to say she is beautiful and seems very sweet-this is the first time I've gotten the chance to watch her on cam.

I think the model menu shows the camscore at the time the model logged in, while the profile has a more up-to-date score. Having said that, what I see on her profile now is a score of 192735!

 

[sexyvanessa4u]

^^^I believe it, when I was in her room, Lara received a 33,333 tip from Pope plus numerous 3,333 tips and numerous 1000 tips from him. Plus tips from other members. I must admit I am a little envious, but good for her!

I went to have a nosey too, and saw those tips. And yep, what a beautiful, engaging woman. I logged off feeling very happy for her, feeling positive all round. And if that isn't one of the best things a camgirl can make you feel, then what is?

On the surface it seems that she is a very very lucky woman who has landed herself the best whale tipper of all time. And I like that idea, so I am going with that. Good on her!

(I also like the idea of it being a small bit international money laundering racket, just for the espionage and drama of it all. And yeah, we know live porn cleans dirty money, but small time crims are hardly going to draw so much attention to themselves are they).

 

[Fay_Galore]

aww, I missed it! I wish I could too be jealous ánd happy for her instead of just jealous

but I'm still wondering why he doenst just get het a creditcard, or an insane amount on giftrocket, or just delivers her a car. OR A SHIP! (I'll just keep fantasising about this scenario myself hehehe)

If I had a 33,333 tip which is approx £1000 I'd be uber pleased but yes, I'd find it hard not to want the other £1000 that had actually been paid by the tipper so I'm not sure I am jealous. But, I tend not to get this dilemma with my average 50 and 100 token tips! See how lucky I am?!

Perhaps for him it is as much about giving her money as it is to be publicly seen doing it? He is as MFC famous as she is, maybe even more so? (I would have trouble remembering her name next week, but not the name Pope. Invidious consumption is probably addictive?

More hypothesizing of which no good will ever come. It is fascinating though.

 

[ComicOzzie]

I saw the tail end of her appearance last night. I megatipped her 10 tokens and told her it was to help out her camscore. She LOL'ed.

 

[Katie_Meow]

This is one enviable tip list.

 

[PinkRBelle]

Oh... wow. Makes me dream, makes me cry and makes me hope... and wonder. But it doesn't matter, it's just... wow.

 

[PinkRBelle]

Is she the girl of the topic?

Btw, she has a 23 000 CS... :S
