The partnership with the porn business took place in 2002, a "long time ago" as Greenwald told the Daily News. Greenwald, who had just quit his job as a litigator to join his friend's consulting company, Master Notions, arranged a deal with Peter Haas, the owner of a porn company called HJ, reportedly short for "Hairy Jocks."

Haas wasn't able to maintain the company, so Greenwald and his partner agreed to help in exchange for half of the company's eventual profits. With Greenwald's help, the company began making money, but when it came time to pay up, Haas refused, saying Greenwald had demanded "changes to the content of the videos which were and are unacceptable." He also accused Greenwald and his partner of pressuring him into the deal, going so far, Greenwald said, to create fake emails from Greenwald calling Haas "a little bitch" and "a good little whore."

Greenwald addressed the issue himself Wednesday afternoon in a post on The Guardian, after he was contacted by the Daily News reporter:

Once our company threatened to retain a forensic expert to prove that the emails were forgeries, the producer quickly settled the case by paying some substantial portion of what was owed, and granting the LLC the rights to use whatever it had obtained when consulting with him to start its own competing business.

In the BuzzFeed profile, Greenwald denied having any role in the production side of the porn business, though he said he would have been "proud" if he had been involved, noting that there's "nothing wrong with it."
