About
Flooz.com was a dot-com era online currency startup founded in February 1999 in New York City by iVillage co-founder Robert Levitan.

Heavily promoted by Whoopi Goldberg, the company raised $35–50M in venture capital before shutting down on August 26, 2001, after a Russian-Filipino crime syndicate used stolen credit cards to launder $300,000 via the platform.
