Information about Brad Greenspan
Brad Greenspan is an internet entrepreneur who has been involved in the founding and proliferation of web properties including MySpace. Greenspan founded eUniverse Inc. (later renamed Intermix Media) in 1998, which went public in 1999.[1] The company survived the .com-bust of 2001 and was the incubator that launched MySpace.com in 2003. After leaving his position as CEO at eUniverse towards the end of 2003, Greenspan retained a significant percentage of shares in the company and owned 10% of the company when it sold to News Corp in 2005.[2] Greenspan opposed the acquisition, and has been fighting News Corp both legally and publicly ever since. Fox Interactive Head Ross Levinsohn recently stated at the Web 2.0 conference that Greenspan was "...a loser" who was kicked out two years prior to News Corp.'s buying of MySpace.com.
Even with the loss of MySpace to News Corp, Greenspan has continued to innovate and has established BroadWebAsia (an Asian internet company), Borba (a health product-line), and LiveUniverse (a social network focused internet company).
Greenspan's report also states that the MySpace program code had originally been the brainchild of an Intermix/eUniverse programmer named Toan Nguyen who made the breakthrough technical contributions to the project.[11]

Brad Greenspan attended UCLA where he launched his first company Palisades Capital from his dorm room.MySpace
The MySpace service was founded in August 2003[6] as a new initiative and 100% owned division of publicly traded internet company eUniverse (which later in mid-2004 changed its name to Intermix). eUniverse created and marketed the Myspace website, providing the division with a complete infrastructure of finance, human resources, technical expertise, bandwidth, and server capacity right out of the gate so the MySpace team wasn’t distracted with typical start-up issues. The project was overseen by Brad Greenspan (eUniverse's Founder, Chairman, CEO), who managed Chris DeWolfe (MySpace's current CEO), Josh Berman, Tom Anderson (MySpace's current president), and a team of programmers and resources provided by eUniverse.Brad Greenspan / The MySpace Report
In October 2006, Brad Greenspan (the former Chairman, CEO and largest individual shareholder of Intermix Media, who is the true "founder of MySpace") launched a website and published "The MySpace Report" that called for the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Department of Justice and the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance to investigate News Corp's acquisition of MySpace as "one of the largest merger and acquisition scandals in U.S. history."[7] The report's main allegation is that News Corp. should have valued MySpace at US$20 billion rather than US$327 million, and had, in effect, defrauded Intermix shareholders through an unfair deal process.[8] The report received a mixed response from financial commentators in the press.[9] An initial lawsuit led by Greenspan challenging the acquisition was dismissed by a judge.[10]Greenspan's report also states that the MySpace program code had originally been the brainchild of an Intermix/eUniverse programmer named Toan Nguyen who made the breakthrough technical contributions to the project.[11]
