Embattled Pornhub boss Feras Antoon’s unfinished chateau in Montreal has burned down in a suspected arson after recently listing the sprawling property for nearly 16 million, The house the Hub built is no more.
Exclusive photos show the charred remains of what was once Antoon’s multi-million dollar dream home that sat on land next to the Bois-de-Saraguay nature park on the northern edge of Montreal.
Montreal police were called Sunday night and responded to reports of two people breaking into the construction area of the home.
It took nearly three hours and 80 firefighters to put out the three-alarm fire that raged on until 2.30am.
There were no injuries and no arrests have been made as police continue to investigate the suspected arson.
In December, it was reported that Syrian-born Antoon, 45, bought two lots of land for 2 million in cash four years ago and spent millions more building the home of his dreams that now sits in piles of rubble.
The home boasted a nine-car garage, seven bathrooms and eight bedrooms before it went up in flames.
Antoon, the CEO of Pornhub’s parent company MindGeek, faces a money crunch nightmare. His empire is in danger of crumbling following allegations that much of the content on his leading site contains videos of underage girls.
‘Its site is infested with rape videos. It monetizes child rapes, revenge pornography, spy cam videos of women showering, racist and misogynist content, and footage of women being asphyxiated in plastic bags,’ wrote Nicholas Kristof in a New York Times column that first exposed Pornhub.
‘A search for ‘girls under18′ or ’14yo’ leads in each case to more than 100,000 videos. Most aren’t of children being assaulted, but too many are.’
Already major credit card companies Mastercard, Visa and Discover have cut ties with Pornhub forcing it to delete 80 percent of its content in a bid to clean up its act. It has also severely curtailed uploading of videos and completely banned downloading.
Is this karma?
