What papers could he possibly have that would prove he is a legit / rightful owner?
I'm not a lawyer, but I don't see how a escrow.com transaction between allegedly Jack K / (possibly James) and the alleged thief / hacker using the rightful domain owners alleged compromised email would constitute as proof for James Booth being the legitimate / rightful owner.
However, if he had a signed contract, as mentioned by
@EJS , then he might have something to lean on when / if this goes to court.

<<< @BoothDomains -- Was the above comment on DomainInvesting.com written by you? And if it was, do you stand by your statements?
So you emailed Mike Han? Or by you emailed, do you mean Jack / Jake emailed...?
You spoke to them? Who's them? Isn't there an email from Jack saying he spoke on the phone? So both you and Jack spoke to ...? >>>>
I doubt James will answer those questions here, but I imagine Rebecca's legal team will ask similar questions when / if James is deposed.
Should this go to court, my assumption is Rebecca and her legal team will wipe the floor with James and his legal team.
And should that be the case, I imagine this case will stand as a reminder as to why one shouldn't try to solicit money to a third party in exchange for an alleged stolen domain to be returned to the alleged rightful owner who allegedly did not authorize the sale of her domain.
@BoothDomains -- Do you not see how the below line, can be perceived as intimidation to one's freedom of speech?

I'm not sure if anyone remembers what happened last year when
@Crysis bought a stolen domain. He returned it to the rightful owner once he was informed. Then, he petitioned the sales platform it was purchased on (
@namesilo), and
@namesilo refunded his purchase.

@Jackson Elsegood -- Escrow.com claims to be insured, what does that mean? Some people who use your platform might be lead to believe their purchases are insured. Perhaps Escrow.com should look into changing the wording to stop people from misinterpreting it as their transactions are insured. OR look into implementing some sort of signature authorization for the domain buyer to be able to lean on. OR verify IP location.
