WOW..now their SITE IS DOWN "for maintenance"
https://www.youkandy.com/
From what I understand Firstchoice is holding funds over a certain amount until the bank liquidation is finished. They did the same thing to Streamate but fortunately they have enough reserves that they are able to pay us anyway. In that discord chatroom Bode said that is why Streamate aren't setting us up to use Payoneer like ImLive is doing, because they still have not released their funds and SM doesn't want to work with a company related to FirstChoice since they are holding so much money.
Now that the site is down, will probably be a long while until we see our money from YouKandy (if ever). I can understand her not being able to pay us yet until the money is released, but to take the site down with not so much as an email to us is a slap in the face.
AGREED!! There are a lot of people complaining on Twitter about it (enter YouKandy in the search box). I have tweeted at them. Strangely enough, as of a cpl days ago, they were still auto-tweeting content being added to the site.
No clue WTF is going on, but once I get my money, I am done with that site.
Don't you all just love how we sex workers have to deal with all this uncertainty because society treats us like dirt??
I mean, if this site screws us over, do we even have any recourse? Could we even sue and win?
O/T but I just got into it with some anti-porn "activists" on Facebook. They really made me mad. Full of all this pseudo-feminist b.s., but you can tell it's because they're religious right-wingers. They said everyone in porn is being abused and mistreated..I got so mad, I told one woman to GFY and I got a 3 day ban on FB. UGH
Well, I guess YouKandy will never come back and that was very sucky of them :(
^ did you hear something new?
Though at this point them saying nothing says a lot
Their site is STILL down. Not looking good.
I'm thinking about doing some research to see who owns it..which company hosts it, etc.
Somebody on Twitter posted this info about youkandy ownership:
Ownership http://youkandy.com
Dan Jones, YK Media Ltd
Registered office address
Century House, 40 Crescent Business Park, Lisburn, County Antrim, BT28 2GN
Phone: +44.1234567890
Ownership YK Media Ltd
I'm betting on that the owner is wiped out every bit as much as the models if he was 100% in FirstChoice. If 100% of your working capital (including your own future paychecks) are now locked away, and you have no good answers for anyone until FC releases funds, then there isn't much that can be done.
The constant name of the game is to diversify, whether you're a business on Wall Street, a farmer growing crops, or a cammodel or cammodel business.
Go to the site today and get this:
"Not Found
HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found."
Some models on Twitter are talking about pursuing legal action.
They only owe me $50 so I wouldn't be able to pay a lawyer or take time off work for $50 and come out ahead.
Yeah,I called it and I will not see my 30 dollars again. But, I hope all of the models and customers get their funds back. :)
Youkandy just tweeted that Firstchoice is still holding funds and have "killed" their business, so looks like they have no funds to pay out.

they should pay out of their own pocket, the FC excuse is total bullshit
I have around $300ish in my account, we were told to keep on working, im dumbfounded they just up and left.
In news articles online dailypay says they have offered to cover the costs of payroll so members can get their money which is great but Im assuming youkandy need to accept the offer and if youkandy are not opening emails or checking their twitter anymore then what the hell are we supposed to do?
Does dailypay have a rep on these forums we can talk to? or can add more information to this thread for us?
I got that email too since I'm still on their mailing list even thogh I left them years ago. That particular dailypay isn't on the forums here. Since YouKandy didn't accept the offer I doubt if it would matter though.
The critical thing here is that YouKandy's owner apparently just spent all the profits instead of keeping a reserve to pay us in case something like this happened, so there aren't any funds to pay out. YouKandy were around a long time so they had time to prepare for an event like this. Just no way to run a business IMO.
THere are models who were really active on there, with camming, and the contests, who are owed THOUSANDS by them
Their Twitter page has been deleted.
Most recent update is that dailypay has offered to cover the payroll costs in full free of charge until youkandy sort their funds out.
Their twitter is still active at the moment, 78 replies in one post and 48 in the other. Im really surprised their twitter is still there. So far I have seen 3 different people comment 3 different companies behind Youkandy and 3 different owners, its all a mess, how can we sue when we dont even know who they are? This industry is in some dire need of transparency.
They can't do much though if YouKandy won't even respond or cooperate.
"Update 10th May, quote from DP Service response: “Hi *****, we have offered to cover the costs of the payroll for them while they sort their funds out, then they pay us back free of charge. They havent responded to the request yet.”"

That's a very generous offer. Doesn't sound like they even are able to pay back dailypay or have any intention of trying to pay us all. If true the owner is nothing but a thief!
