Mitch Joel

Joel is an online marketing genius who also owns Distort Entertainment and “produces” music for “underground” or “urban” band in Montreal and Toronto. Mickael lives in Laval where VigilantCitizen runs his operation out of. Henrik Ryosa of illomennation.com is also one of their accomplices who also knows a lot of digitial media and was once working with Joel on Distort Entertainment until realizing separate ideas would pull them in separate directions. Henrik now lives in Sweden and runs a production/media company of his own, but helps to steer people in certain directions with online contributions mainly to VC’s forum.

The two of Joel and Kanfi have enough insider information to concoct the stories on VC, and knowledge between them to get thousands of viewers a day, upwards to 40k. Look at the google ads on that site and realize they’re making major BANK. Enough to justify launching two more copy cat sites
