LOS ANGELES – Controversial former financial industry intern Veronica Vain made her hardcore debut Monday online. Vain co-stars with Manuel Ferrara in Screwing Wall Street: The Arrangement Finders Play. Ferrara also produced and directed, along with his partner Kayden Kross.

In the four-part series set to roll out over several weeks, a financial pro gets fucked over … all the way to the bank. The series is available on EvilAngel.com and ManuelFerrara.com.

Vain said the in porn industry, much as in the mainstream business world, decisions sometimes are made based more on who you know than what you know.

“Kayden was one of the few porn stars I actually knew prior to researching porn, because she was brilliant and beautiful and I had stumbled across her blogs one day and fell in love with her,” Vain said. “Manuel and Evil Angel were the icing on the cake.”

Personal relationships within the porn industry weren’t the only factor she considered when deciding which studio offer she would accept.

“Kayden, Manuel and Evil Angel alone would not have swayed my decision,” Vain said. Equally important to her was “the potential to bring product placement into pornography, and therefore open new revenue streams to the industry, that came with the trio. That really got my Wall Street side excited, and I jumped on it. The payout wasn’t too shabby, either.”

According to Kross Screwing Wall Street is the first adult feature to be significantly funded by product placement.

“The money that [sugar dating site] Arrangement Finders put up to make this film and to lock in Veronica Vain’s first scene also allowed her to have possibly the biggest first-scene payout in adult [movie] history,” said Kross, who serves as president of the website, which connects women with men offering financial support.

Vain said she is bullish on her career transition as she learns the ropes.

“I was surprised by how 90 percent of the day is just shooting the dialogue and doing makeup and photos and whatever, and only 10 percent was the actual sex,” she noted, adding that she loves “worry-free bareback sex” and looks forward to girl-girl scenes. “I’m a little intimidated, especially to work with the likes of Kayden and Stoya, who are so much more experienced. However, I’m also excited for the challenge.”
