1. Ohhhh.... so.... You can't be a victim if you are wealthy? Dude, the wealthier you are the more people there are trying to squeeze a dollar out of you.
2. I don't remember that but I'm glad you've managed to accidently hit the nail on the head. Uniregistry likely had some of AD's domains, they had him by the balls. If those with unsettled disputes were looking after a chunk of AD's domain portfolio then they'd probably have had their complaints settled quickly too.
3. Yes, paying bills on time would have been the right thing to do.
Hey PUG,
Let me come at you this way. And please keep in mind both parties are in the
same business.
Say a domain was like a gold bar (an object of
speculative value, so to speak).
You are in the
business of holding gold bars for clients because you have a really safe place.
A client is late on his fees, client says... "I don't have the money and I am afraid I can't pay you yet... I will have to sell a few bars of gold..."
You say I want my money now!!!!!!!
He has to take that gold and sell it to pay you.
Tomorrow the value of that gold goes up and if you had told that client, "AS I AM IN THE BUSINESS OF HOLDING GOLD, I WILL GLADLY TAKE SOME OF YOUR GOLD AS PAYMENT FOR YOUR DEBT.".
Tell me, who would have made out better?
Keep in mind, we can now use the word domain as it is not a precious metal, and in rare cases decreases in value. AND... THEY'RE JUST FRIGGING CHARACTERS ON AN ADDRESS BAR IN VIRTUAL WORLD NONE THE LESS!!!!! (In simplest terms) If SHTF and the grid goes down... we have nothing!!! They have GOLD!!!
So in closing yes, I am sorry the super rich have bad days, and use offshore businesses to not pay taxes, and their helicopters sometimes don't arrive on time, and they get their hair made fun off, or they can actually pay THEIR bills.
1. Ohhhh.... so.... You can't be a victim if you are wealthy? Dude, the wealthier you are the more people there are trying to squeeze a dollar out of you.
A.D. was considered "wealthy" by us, does your statement hold true for him as well? What if it's a "squeeze"?
If he, F.S., wasn't in dyer need for his
business to collect on an outstanding debt (
common practice in business) then he had other, possibly better options.
So as I said before, I respect F.S. for what he has built. But, in this particular instance of alleged "
criminality", I think it could have been handled differently, and actually turned out better for him
business wise had he
taken domains.
These are my opinions and yours may vary, Dude... and that's ok man.
My apologies to the readers.
Regards,
WPM
