AzoogleAds Gives 1 Million Dollars To Florida AG

I missed all the excitement while at blogworld. As you know for a while now (seems like 6 months or so) the Florida AG office has been investigating many ringtone companies and their affiliates. I got several emails from people saying that AzoogleAds had settled a case or whatever was going on. I emailed them for comment and received this back: Michael Sprouce, CMO of Azoogle: "We have volunteered to work closely with the Attorney General’s newly-created 'Cyber Fraud Task Force' to further its efforts to combat illicit online advertising and to help establish a more transparent and accountable marketplace. As part of our cooperation, AzoogleAds will voluntarily contribute $1MM to the task force’s legal and investigative fund; this contribution reinforces AzoogleAds’ commitment to improving industry standards in the fight against fraudulent and deceptive internet advertising." Now normally I do not feel the need for disclosure but I want to be very clear AzoogleAds has been one of the biggest sponsors of this blog since its inception and I am also very good friends with the 2 founders Joe and Alex. You can see the official press release here There seems to be a lot of spin going on from exactly what all that means ;).
