   | There's been a lot happening today and I wanted to give the forum an update. I'm posting here and on some other boards to reach as many clients as possible. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/621078-halvarez-at-snapnames-auctions-uncovered.html There’s been quite a bit of back-and-forth here and other places about access to SnapNames bidding and order history. The truncated system, which limits view to the 24 months prior to whatever date the lookup is being performed, has been in place for the past four years, since June 2005. This was not changed recently or in response to the recent announcement. That aside, to make sure no one thinks there’s an attempt to shield data, our technical staff is adjusting the existing system so order and bid histories are available back to August 2004, when SnapNames instituted the auction platform. We are working on that change now. I'll post more when I know more. Thanks. Rob Oversee Support |

In addition, as many here understand there is no way to determine the extent of the actual losses.

| Account Access I still don't have access to my auctions with Halvarez before November 2007. As for Snapname's rebate offer, I didn't read anything about a remedy that included their making an effort to recover the domain that was lost in an auction when it was just the bidder and Halvarez. But for Halvarez being the only other bidder, the snap customer would have won that very unique domain. Another consideration that escaped snapnames was that the more bidders in the auction, the more likely this would have caused more interest in the domain; take away Halvarez, and the interest, and hence the selling price, might have been lower. Another one is that seeing Halvarez in so many auctions might have deterred many from placing higher proxy bids; i.e., why bother to bid because Halvarez has deep pockets. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=621078 Turning now to any punishment issues, snapnames giving back what they would not have had but for Halvarez's actions, doesn't amount to any penalty whatsoever. They need to be punished. Now here is why any company would want to facilitate a quick settlement (besides the risk of punitive damages being awarded) - "Should you fail to substantially prevail in any lawsuit brought against SnapNames, SnapNames will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from you." This means the prevailing plaintiffs' attorneys would most likely be entitled to such fees as well. Cha-ching! |

| Oversee Rob, one simple question - Why the hell have the authorities not been brought in and charges laid? Until you come clean on this I think you are talking BS. Everyone knows that you only bring in an outside company specialising in cover-ups when you have something to hide, and my money is that you have a lot to hide! Well reports have now been sent to the IRS outlining possible tax evasion by individuals who worked for SnapNames and SnapNames itself!  Oh, by the way, have a nice weekend. |

I cannot discuss that topic or personnel related matters. That's not a satisfying answer. I understand that. It is, though, the reality for situations like this | ||||

| Oversee Rob, well if you don't know then how the hell can you come on here and tell us that everything is now OK! If you are not permitted to know the facts then you are just spoon feeding out what you are told! How much has it cost Oversee to bring in RUSTBUCKET? How many other executives have gone on extended vacation and soon to retire for health/personal reasons? Display proof that there was only one schill account known as 'Halverez'? Will you categoricallly state that no information, whether paper or electronic, has or will be destroyed or altered before State and Federal agentcies turn up to collect them? Will you state categorically that Oversee.com will guarantee that any losses made by any companies or individuals resulting from this, or any other scam involving SnapNames or members of its staff, be compensated in full and with interest for all loses made by them, and that the Oversee.com agrees that as the parent company they will accept full reponsibility for any compensation awarded? ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=621078 If an estimated $10-$40 million in deals was affected by this one singular schill bidder then this could amount to tax evasion by the individual or company (and its executives) of $millions. This is why the IRS are interested now, and of course it will lead to other cases undoubtedly. |

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=621078 And as mentioned by homebuyer, "Should you fail to substantially prevail in any lawsuit brought against SnapNames, SnapNames will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from you." Surely this is delusional?  I have never seen a more clear cut case of fraud in my life.

| dag, numerous reports over the years were made to SnapNames about schill bidding by 'Halverez', at best people were told they (SnapNames) held an investigation and everything was legitimate, at worse people (those who complained) had their accounts terminated! This was not all done by Nelson but by other executives as well. Some apples rot from the outside, others rot from the core, it is up to you to decide where the rot at SnapNames originated, but for the majority (including some really big names in the market) it is obvious that this particular apple was rotting from the core! ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=621078 Moniker has even started feeling the hit and have gone into 'damage control mode', and that is because they can see the way this is imploding on the whole Oversee.com group of companies. When the Feds and IRS start investigating it is not worth waiting around. The way Oversee.com has tried deceiving domainers is clear for all to see by the posts by their representatives on this and other forums. Add all this together and it does not take a rocket scientist/surgeon/accountant/etc. to know that the findings are already clear. |

Now lets assume, as some have stated that they paid hundreds, and even thousands over the price they should of actually paid, now lets assume that if they had the (100,s or 1000,s) of money to buy other domains instead of the inflated price/s they paid, and resold the domain/s at end user prices? How do you calculate that? An example, someone who paid $1000 for a domain could have got it for $400, maybe bought three domains for the $1000 instead of 3 for$3000 and on sold 3 of them at $2000 a piece instead of 1 at $2000. This is what you may have missed out on, how do you calculate that? With a law suit, that's how.

       | I'm one of the longest-standing members of this forum yet I don't think I've left my 2 cents just yet. And what are my 2 cents? FOUR FU*KING YEARS AND THIS WAS FINALLY "DISCOVERED"??! There is 100% NO justification for this. I'll still use Snapnames but not exclusively. And if the bidding gets to a certain figure, I think I'll just walk away. |

This is not a one man operation, anyone from this company that states their not involved...then clearly their is a divide in their company and the bad guys are winning the game! Let's make sure the FEDS do the investigation, not you (snapnames)! The US Government has to enforce the laws of the land to protect the interest of their Citizens and their neighbors (CANADA) from any company or individual who thinks they are above the LAW.

| Does anyone know where Nelson Brady is? I've seen his house on google maps (very nice) but does he have any travel restrictions or has he been charged with anything? Nelson if your reading this Please, Please "Spill the Beans" on the Parking/PPC Industry to at least help clean up the Domain Parking Industry and help restore some faith in the domaining business again It may even help you stay out of Jail with Bubba  Ouch!

| Unfortunately, according to these records he bought the house in 1997 so there is nothing wrong with owning a house with a current appraised value of $700k.

| I'm not a lawyer but I believe this may fall under antitrust law. Perhaps someone with a legal background could opine. Per Wiki... "...United States antitrust law is the body of laws that prohibits anti-competitive behavior (monopoly) and unfair business practices. Antitrust laws are designed to encourage competition in the marketplace. These competition laws make illegal certain practices deemed to hurt businesses or consumers or both, or generally to violate standards of ethical behavior...Anti-trust laws prohibit agreements in restraint of trade...Federal antitrust laws, as well as most state laws, provide for treble damages against antitrust violators in order to encourage private lawsuit enforcement of antitrust law..." ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=621078 United States antitrust law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "...Treble damages, in law, is a term that indicates that a statute permits a court to triple the amount of the actual/compensatory damages to be awarded to a prevailing plaintiff, generally in order to punish the losing party for willful conduct..." Treble damages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
