Is Adam Dicker a criminal? You decide.

[S-B]

This story starts with DNF; a barren wasteland that once was a leading forum within the domain industry. While the forum itself played a huge role in propagating the myth that is Adam Dicker, the story really begins with DNF College in the summer of 2011.

From what I understand, Adam still owes north of $33,000 to previous customers and business partners. As I receive more information, I will update this figure.

Following your logic. If cops will put drugs in your house and then "find" it. Will it make any difference, after all, it's your house, you supposed to control what in there.

Excuse me... but you do know the difference between a house and a website? specially a website like adamdicker.com ? and on a page as important as Team Page? Not even comparable. Cops will not come first and hide something in your house...inside your house...without you being there :D

If I had a forum were there were millions of pages then maybe I might miss this but a site as small as Adam's ...well.... I cannot buy. Sorry.

We can try to defend Adam but the images on his team page or what he did to all those people doesnt make send.

 

[djum]

I was thinking someone with name double Abdullah no less then Abdullah II and has house that big, that Adam's website can't compare to it

Cops and military can make parades there being unnoticed. Not just sneak in and bring a bag or too, but unload the whole truck of pure Columbian.
Website though you do it ones, then rarely check, especially if it's professional website, not blog or smth.

I'm not trying to defend anybody here, just using pure logic and this picture stuff looks like a set up.

Nah, lol , I have no such house... just the name. I am not saying it is set up at all. I am just saying , and now that you mentioned, since this website is professional and is owned by someone with the status of Adam, then how on earth wouldn't you know and check it? Take for yourselft for example, do you check your website? Your business website? I am sure you do even if you have a webmaster of some sort running it for you. And when I am no longer employing the person running the site for me, I am sure I will check it all. Atleast all the pages accessible from the main website. If some page or image is hidden under some directory, I am sure we will not find it but a direct link like that no way.

Then again, why Adam did not respond to this? He simply ignored... atleast he could have said some ex employee put it lol

The picture did look like a set up or a prank.

I doubt Adam realised that the picture is the picture of the CEO of Yahoo even if he checked. To be honest, I don't, how many of you know? Fact that no one realised until now shows that majority of the website users don't recognise as well.

How many of us here know how the CEOs of Microsoft, Exxon Mobile, Google, General Electric look like?

The more important question is whether are the staff real with a real name but a fake picture, or imaginary with the intent to inflate the size of the team. The reaction to take down the page and not to replace the picture answers that for me.

 

[franka46]

This is the best advise I have seen in this thread for you, Adam. + I will add. If you are not a practicing Christian yet (it seems so), It is time to open up your Holy Book and start reading the chapters. Take a brief sabbatical, examine yourself, become a changed man, wash your sins and I would like to see you bounce back.

It's got nothing to do with being a Christian or whatever ,, you a a good man or you are not ..it's the road you take in life .
Best tip for Adam ,sell up and move to Bali ....after you have settled with everybody and have some money left,you can live here in peace and cheap ,work from the beach with your laptop .[Like JOE P]

.

well if you are working in the oil business you would likely know how the CEO of Exxon looks like.

personally i recognized it.

to me the picture doesn't make any sense.

Either you don't know and believe it is just a random stock image.

If you knew why use it?

Perhaps this work was outsourced? Still kind of odd that someone would choose that image.

 

[Abdullah Abdullah]

I found this way before anyone mentioned here , The picture, but I got busy and then saw it was posted. Even if it was outsourced then why not say that and replace the photo with the photo of the person's name ?Why take down the whole page? Something is not right .

yes you would have to be very ignorant or careless to use such an image. either this or there is an other explanation.

archive.org has archived this page only once. (19 sept 2015) so it must have been uploaded very recently.

here the meta tags of the page. the meta tags show the author of the post as well. It is a team member not AD. not sure if that means anything. I won't post any names in public though.

see: <link rel= author

modified time 2015-07-23T15:32:47

if you look at the picture of the previous version of the page you see that 3 out of 4 of the former team seem to be real people. the last version of the link that was posted here used 2 stock images. again this must be a very recent update.

[MasterOfMyDomains]

I am sure Adam or alot of people don't have time to check every page of every website. I sure don"t
I did change the dns on every name in my godaddy panel a few days ago, to afternic and i just now checked a couple and 403 Error - Forbidden
Forbidden.

And its not godaddy cause I changed one name at namesilo and its the same error page. So its afternic, now I have to manually check each name at godaddy and edit the dns on the ones not resolving. I have time, if i get bored I will come back to this thread. I have websites I havent visited in a month.

I am pretty sure those pictures were deliberately placed there by his ex employees, to frame him.
Other evidence seems quite overwhelming.

 

[bluebox]

The thread reminded me of South Park episode about the BP oil spill.

Although - to be honest I don't recall even one (insincere) apology or promise it will never happen again.

In my humble opinion - Adam Dicker looks like a compulsive liar with zero integrity or regard for other people lives.
I suspect in a few months when the shitstorm quietens he'll be back to ripping naive people off...

Adam - if you have financial problems maybe you should pay this guy:
https://adamdicker.com/product/coaching/

For only $500 he will teach you how to buy reg fee domains and turn them into $xxxx

Sorry for going off topo, but Bali is one of the nicest places I've travelled. 6 months (visa ext.via Darwin bounce back) and the language is lovely, was in Malaysia for a while to pick it up. Lucky Joe P.

The point is that is his "team". Shouldn't he recognize if the wrong picture was used for his "team" since he's hired these people and works with them or does this mean there is no team and just another lie? What exactly is honest about him at this point? Everywhere you turn it is one lie after another.

 

[HeyNow]

He also had AOL payment, but they took it back via UDRP

Wow, everyone here should read these links. Great post. Another documented case of the type of character we are dealing with.

read my post above. the first version had at least 3/4 real people as confirmed by the picture from the spain conference. one of them was the individual complaining about him here. the fourth individual was "marissa mayer".

the last version in the google cache was changed on 24. september 2015 if we believe the meta tags in the source code and now features the readhead along marissa instead of the former employee.

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://adamdicker.com/our-team/

:modified_time" content="2015-09-24T

so there used to be a team. Can't comment on the most recent version. There are at least 2/4 real people(one of them Adam)

Now we could speculate why they use the stock images. To inflate the size of the team. As a placeholder so that they don't have to update the graphics every time...etc.

Whatever the reason is it is a fairly recent thing the page is at best 5 months old.

Not quite sure if there is something illegitimate going on here. Could be but doesn't have too.

Also we don't know who uploaded the page. According to the meta tags it was the company VP.

I saw somewhere that he keeps the majority of the names under privacy and now we know why. I wonder how many other trademark names are in the so-called 38,000 name portfolio. Personally I don't think he owns anywhere near this amount but it sounds good when he tells the newbies.

It baffles me why anyone would spend their free time on a Saturday morning defending this person. This is not a case of someone biting off more than they could chew and making a mistake. He has a long documented history of repeatedly disregarding ethics and the law. The time for the benefit of the doubt was long over.

 

[HeyNow]

Give him his due.

In case you hadn't noticed, that's what's happening.

Now we know a lot more about the individuals who bestowed "Developer of the Year" honors. How clueless or corrupt are they?

 

[DomainGist]

It baffles me that there are adults who don't understand the concept of time zones, it is almost 5pm here, other than that I agree.... very difficult to muster together a defense for him.

 

[DomainGist]

Why are you so keen to make this about other people? This is about Adam Dicker and the various people who feel like they were deceived out of time and/or money.

A little off-topic, but I was watching a few poker clips on YouTube.
It is amazing the resemblance between Adam Dicker and Mike Matusow.
