Things do not add up here.
Questions:
Did you receive a large payment from Emmet Stephenson (Shane's article suggests it could be near $1 million)? If so how was there no money to pay employees what they were promised? Where did the money received from him go? And why did you tell the...
So investors (who are "domain experts") give $20M to someone with no experience to invest, he purchased $2.5M worth in 2.5 weeks but won't share any purchases, and we should all take this as fact? Is this filed in the Fiction category?
This. I've paid the 'upgraded listing fees' and it is a complete farce because you don't get the visibility you should since your upgraded listing is buried in with all the upgraded listing that other people got handed for free. So instead of being 1 out of 10 you become 1 out of 100 (no idea...
Now that I think about it more... so both you and Oliver were actively bidding "against each other" in earnest? You never stopped to think to ask him why he's driving up the price on a domain he owns and same with him asking you (since you were both confused on who owned the domain)? I'm going...
@NameJet - you better pull your head out of your ass and start answering.
1. Why was a person allowed to sell domains if their info was not in the whois?
2. Technically in the system, are people who sell domains able to submit a bid from their same account for a domain that they are selling...
You want to help people? Where was that before the story broke? You are repaying people either because you want to try to save what's left of your reputation or you are trying to avoid potential legal actions against you. Don't slither in here and act like you care or you're doing a good...
I disagree, you need to look at the total cost and total return. You can buy every combination of numbers in the lottery and spend $200 million bucks. Sure, one ticket cost you $1 and it won the jackpot of $100 million, so great ROI on that single ticket, what about the other 199.99 million...
That's bs. If you didn't properly fund the company to pay the payroll and now are going to hide behind this while you yourself (as a different entity) had plenty of cash then you really didn't give a damn about those people. YOU promised them $2,500/month, not Webcorp. They were following YOU...
Wow. Just wow. If this is 100% accurate then all I can say is what a complete and total scumbag. If anyone wants to stand up for him after reading this then you have no heart.
Lanny - if you're giving domaining a go PM me. I'd like to offer you some free guidance and tips to try to help...
Are you serious or joking? That is a cheap platform with no customization that I see of at all.
Here's the platform, $97 fee and you can use it on as many sites as you want.

Website development is not buying a script, uploading it, and saying "job done"...
Very true. Like someone saying they are making bank on a core blood business, or on a mugshots business, or on a niche website business, or on domain names but he can't/won't repay people. What happened to those "huge" businesses that were pulling in buckets and buckets of cash? This whole...
Why he did it? He's had a full day to explain why. He's had months/year to pay back people. He literally f'd up LannyB's life for 8 months. But yes, let's give him the benefit of the doubt because he may have a really good reason for this and because once upon a time he was nice to...
I'd like to see Namejet reply to this. Every domain blogger should be writing a post and pointing it to this thread to put pressure on them. I haven't blogged in many months but I'll do it because it is important.
And he's looking for offers for $320 for a non-chip LLLL.com (because spending time trying to sell those $2.5M of acquisitions wouldn't be the focus as much as a $320 sale would). Too funny. Nice article.
If you want a website developed you should pay $0 up front. You go to Upwork and hire someone, the money goes into their Upwork's escrow, and it gets released only after the job is successfully completed. No risk to you. And you get to see exactly who you are hiring up front that is going to...
It's not a broker at that point. A broker by definition brokers a deal and gets a predetermined commission. This action is more akin to front running, and the broker is not doing it against a big auction house, he's doing it against you, and you, and you, and you. You think it is right that...
So your initial response in this thread was what? Certainly not this. This comes after a few days. I'd be more inclined to give benefit of the doubt if I heard this right away. Now I question if it took a few days to come up with this story or if it is genuine.
The domain is yours, period. It is extremely unprofessional of the seller to try to get this domain back. I sold a domain to a person (verbally committed) for $10k and the same day I got a $15k offer from another person. I still had the domain in my possession and I had not started any Escrow...
I had an experience on DNF with Adam back in 2011 and was not happy with how he responded so I blogged about it to warn others. The short of it is someone intentionally won an auction of my domain without the intent of paying (just to keep someone else from buying it). They did not pay...
