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.

Updates / Reports
These are in no particular order.

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.

Can this question of whether the only publicly revealed letter with the addressed blocked out directed at Shane or not be answered now? Especially so since now there's a request for donations.

Just yes or no. Very simple.

I don't see how either answer will affect claimants' chance, but it does put in context the purpose of the crowd funding.

Pug said the same letter was sent to him with the exact same content. Maybe Pug can be more transparent than Shane and reveal the letter without hiding the name like Shane did. Block all personal information like email, address, telephone, etc, but show enough that it is indeed directed to you.

Someone else said he threw the letter away but the post seems deleted.

Now that this incident has evolved to the stage where it involves donations, I hope I don't get the "I don't owe you anything" reply for the third time.

Your questions are starting to annoy me. Does it really make a difference who the letter was directed at? Either way, it is what he's sending people who he owes money to. He wants to silence the truth in order to continue monetarily raping newbies in our industry. Yet you sit here and question me? My motives? Who are you? I'm looking up but I don't see god appearing to me in human form as Jen-Sin.

BUT! Adam also must sign off on the same agreement (hold harmless) against me.
Otherwise I am ready to rumble.


I haven't read all your posts or know everything you may have said...

But unless you made "false statements", you're in the clear" legally.

This is my understanding of law as it pertains to libelous statements and my opinion, and yours may vary... and that's ok.

Dictionary
libelous
adjective li·bel·ous \ˈlī-b(ə-)ləs\
: containing an untrue written statement that causes people to have a bad opinion of someone

I understand. And that would require a criminal complaint to get a judgement against the alleged. So I get where Shane is coming from.

Like this could be considered "libelous"... IMHO. But free speech is what it is, and what my Father fought for in WWII.

I am not condoning nor defending any nefarious activities.

in our industry

Seems to me that A.D.'s name is one of a few that helped "form" this industry despite the current situation. You may not have ever had a chance to be part of "our industry" (I use that term loosely in regards to myself even) had it not been for him and others like him. ;)

I'm sure I might be labeled a shill after the previous comment, but I am not condoning nor defending any nefarious activities.

This is my opinion and yours may vary... and that's ok.

We are each entitled to our own opinion. I, however, disagree with yours.

Yes there is Freedom of Speech and thank God and those who lost their lives defending it. But every action has a reaction. It's a law of nature. One must weigh their words carefully in today's world.

I hope everything turns out favorably for you. :D

Domainesque, that comment was directed at jeff Markus, not you.
Page 61 see his post after yours.

I genuinely hope Adam accepts your proposal.
Oh ok...There is confusion. That statement was made quite awhile back.

Unfortunately, if Pug answers he may not get paid if he received a letter and agreed... according to "the letter". (Ooooh, we now have another thing, "The Letter". ;))

Not flaming, just stating the obvious. Pug, you do as you wish. But if resolved a simple "it's done and I am satisfied will do" for all who have been following. :lookaround:

I am not awaiting a refund, I don't have a financial claim, I've separated myself from those who do because of that.

Its not for me to say that its resolved, I've asked for further information from Adam's lawyer about his specific requirements from me, the ball is their court, so if I get no response then as far as I'm concerned it is resolved. If they have some reasonable requests from me as an individual then I will consider them. As simple as that.


Pug didnt have a claim I thought, so why would he get a letter?

You tell me, the letter didn't make sense because it referred to me having purchased website services from Adam Dicker, which I never have.


I contacted Adam to validate the authenticity of the lawyers letters, last night. He told me they were sent to claimants. Pug didnt get one.
I know more, let the gentlemen speak

I did receive one and I would be happy to forward the pdf unredacted a suitable third party for them to confirm this. Now that I know you are in communications with Adam Dicker I wouldn't want that individual to be you now that he has formal representation, but I have already forwarded my letter to Shane Bellone and would be prepared to forward it to Sir Drago, for example, if that would suit.


Pug said the same letter was sent to him with the exact same content. Maybe Pug can be more transparent than Shane and reveal the letter without hiding the name like Shane did. Block all personal information like email, address, telephone, etc, but show enough that it is indeed directed to you.

The letter is exactly the same as the one shared but with the word 'PugDomains' in the body of the text and my name and address at the top of the letter, emailed to the email address that I most frequently use for whois.

Not all claimants / victims / wholly dissatisfied customers have received a letter despite multiple requests for refunds.

So the latest is?

If you all stop posting about the way I run/promote/operate/serve my business clients, I will pay the customers back who had a problem with the way I ran/served/promoted/operated/ the business...so third times a charm?

Did he not payback the big fish at the registry in a couple days without demanding anything?

What does that tell you folks...just think about it.

Thank you for your half-answer.

Pug said Adam did send him the same letter, and the latter did not owe Pug any money.

You neither claim nor deny whom your revealed letter was directed at.

But it did seems to make a difference to you, since you took steps to block out the name as well as to avoid my question.

He wants to silence the truth

Aren't you doing likewise now?

We just want the truth. Not half-truth. Not 90% truth. But the truth. Simple as that.

Who are you? I'm looking up but I don't see god appearing to me in human form as Jen-Sin.

If I'm god, I will know the truth. But precisely I'm not, that's why I'm asking you.

And I'm sure many donors want to know as well. But I'm not forcing you to answer me. Continue to avoid "annoying" questions all you want.

That "Email" is worthless PERIOD just like his case against the victims here who posted their experience.

Yes. Truth is an absolute defense to a defamation claim.

I don't disagree with this statement.

However, a "Class Action" suit could take years. And could have an unfavorable outcome including greater finacial loss to those with legitamate claims.

It would "seem" that those who did reach out to him, as he requested, received letters with intent to settle.

I personally don't know the numbers and facts and am only speculating.

This is my opinion and yours may vary... and that's ok.

Send it to a third party that has an unbiased opinion.
Jen-Sin asked the question he seems like the ideal person.
I only contacted Adam and we know his email addy by heart, to ask him if it was legitimate. People were calling them fakes. I have had contact 2 times with Adam before that, in 2009 I sent a price request for i think rideshare.ca, his reply 5k

I emailed him 6 months ago because I wanted to change my username at dnf to the same as this. He directed to me another person who rectified the situation.

If you did get a letter, you would accept no apology I am sure, but he said those letters were sent out only to claimants. And we have all spent 19 days arguing, many things have been said that are gone deleted forever, I didnt see you on page one and you said you had never signed a contract, and your action after you posted you got one, along with instant PM ME posts from Shane and SirDrago, led me to doubt the validity. Find a legitimate 3rd party to show the letter

As I have never had a contract with Adam Dicker I'm going to withdraw from the group of people seeking advice with Sir Drago and Shane Bellone and accepting Mr Reinhardt's invitation to respond personally.

Sorry we will have to disagree there, I'm wary of the motives behind the inquisition he is giving to Shane. I'll consider verifying via any namepros staff member or moderator, if you can get them to agree and they can give me assurances regarding privacy. I don't really see the point in this exercise though, as I've already told you the letter is identical but with my details and username stated.

The reason that I don't want to share publicly is that Shane has elected to redact some specific pieces of information from the letter that he shared which are likely to be the same across both letters. I don't know what his motives are for doing that but I assume he has his reasons and I have no desire to undermine them, whatever they are. I'm sure you will understand.

I'm curious what makes you believe you have better judgement in "Character" considering who you are?
Why don't you share about yourself and your background?

He is a better choice than you. You are directly involved with Shane.

See my last quote in my previous post. I don't want to see the effing thing, but alot of people want it validated. Pug made a proposal to send it to a moderator here, but noone here is unbiased imo.
Jen-Sin asked the question, if it was me to pick it would be Domain Shane the most honest blogger there is, but we need an unbiased 3rd party. Thank you Pug for being so polite about things.

Well this is the most pointless exercise of my life.... I've redacted the exact same information that Shane has in the letter that he shared, leaving the letter identical in every way.

It actually says "authored by your username" rather than "PugDomains", I was mistaken there.

I would be happy to verify via Domain Shane if he agrees, you can ask him.

I'm completely unable to verify who Jen-Sin even is, because he uses multiple different identities in the whois for his domains.

It was just a suggestion, loosen up take some ex lax if you have to
What does my background have to do with it? Maybe we can start sending each other stool samples for analysis to get a better understanding of each other.

I do believe you Pug, maybe the lawyer wanted to make an extra $150
