I was going to make this thread, but had enough for the day

ECP launched in 2022 in Montreal. Its website says it's good at dealing with problem companies, seeking out tech-focused investment and advisory opportunities "in industries that require principled ethical leadership…have legal and regulatory complexity and that put a value on transparency and accountability."

The site didn't list any other investments. The firm didn't immediately return emails.

I bet they were also going back and forth on calling the company Ethical Stepbros Incorporated at one point too

I always love these companies that include in their name "Ethical," "Trustworthy," "Honorable," Virtuous" and so on. Clearest sign they're the opposite of that.

Don't know if related or not, but the newest update for their pornhub android app disabled the app, now just showing a message that you should go to the website.

I've been told.😗

An investment fund no one has ever heard of, headquartered in a random lawyer's office in Ottawa, buys the biggest porn company. Its website has a single entry, about today's sale.
Surprisingly, according to the Ontario Business registry, it was incorporated in december 2021 and not last week.

Ethical Capital Partners is kind of the capitalist version of Peoples Democratic Republic. It's a list of things you very definitely are not!
