Wamba is one of the most succesfull social media sites in the latin space and Mio.TV will be able to market its own content to all that audience. Also seems low price for my opinion, but in these times it is normal to see expectations reduced. Congratulations for both Parties!

Check out the profile photos, lots of cartoons and crap. Indicates a v. young demographic. Also, check out the Alexa chart, very uneven growth. Looks a little fishy. Definitely looks like a site that hasn't settled in yet. The problem with wamba - and I mean this from the persepctive of an investor, not a user, is that where is the revenue going to come from?? Hispanic CPM is notoriously low, and for a young demographic it will be even worse. In the current crisis terminology - this is a "mark to market" price. Wamba.com looks like a spanish perfspot.

That means he got 1.6 million for his 40% stake so he lost almost 50% on his investment!
