websites are set to be auctioned Thursday in a bid to recover at least some of the more than $77 million that investors lost in an alleged Ponzi scheme.

The court-ordered online auction includes 200 operating websites and thousands of dormant domain names, ranging from The Income Store’s former website to the never-developed DonaldTrumpCollectables.com.


“The goal of this auction is to raise as much money as possible to pay back to all the shareholders that got the short end of the stick here,” said Monte Cahn, founder and president of RightOfTheDot, a Florida-based digital assets auction company. “I don’t think we can cover all the losses, but at least it pays back something instead of having complete losses for everybody.”

More than 480 investors filed claims against The Income Store, a website development business that was shut down amid allegations of securities fraud in December 2019.

The Income Store was launched in 2017 by Kenneth Courtright, 51, who operated the business out of his Minooka home. He is facing civil and criminal charges tied to allegations that investors were lured with annual returns of up to 20% if they paid a six-figure “upfront fee” used to build and operate websites.

"Even The Income Store’s own former website at incomestore.com retains some value despite the fraud allegations against the business, Cahn said.

“That’s part of the portfolio that goes with the whole asset,” Cahn said. “That’s actually a very good domain name too.”"

And... incomestore.com hosting account shows as suspended.

It's hard to understand why anyone would register for this auction, and put up a $50K deposit, without seeing the list of domains first. Hard to believe this is a quality list of domains, given the circumstances.

thanks. Mostly pure trash not worth even hand registering. Some mix of closeout quality and could be few $xxx names that I missed. Overall, 3000 domains here would be worth in $20k-50k region.

And since the past cash flow is irrelevant here (websites are down, the reputation is down), those don't add any additional value.

With all the pr campaign and publicity of the auction, I believe they are hoping to dupe someone into paying the seven figures. Hopefully, no one with that much money is that dumb.
