Anyone Know What sex.com Went For

[Toker]

Anyone know what Gary sold sex.com for??
Supposed to be hush hush but someone here has to know, was it 12 or 15 mil??

 

[snoopi]

Why? Are you planning to buy it? :lol:

www.sex.com sold for 3 million and then was stolen. The sex.com owner got it back and there was a 60 million dollar "judgement" against the guy that hijacked it

 

[deet]

How long ago did it sell?

Looks like it went for either 15 or 20 mil...probably a good equilibrium price for both parties given the strong market and also the relative legal uncertainty surrounding the industry.

Some historical background...

Sex.com defendant must pay $65 million (05.04.2001, LA Times)

Last November, the court determined that Sex.com defendant Stephen Cohen had fraudulently acquired the domain name, and returned it to plaintiff Gary Kremen. Then, early last month, Kremen brought the case back to court seeking $43 million as retribution for the five years he was unable to generate revenue from the domain name.

Now the court has ordered Cohen to turn over all Sex.com-related assets to plaintiff Gary Kremen, and on top of that, pay him $40 million in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages. Furthermore, an arrest warrant for Cohen will remain in effect until he surrenders all his property to the court.

Only time will tell if this will finally be the last we will ever hear about the bizarre battle over Sex.com, estimated to be worth as much as $250 million.

More...

On April 20, 2004, Sex.com announced a final settlement with VeriSign. Although the terms of the settlement were not disclosed, unofficial reports suggest that it was in excess of US$15 million.

That is going overboard for someone who hijacked a domain and kept it for 5 years-if someone hijacke dit then Gary could have gotten it back if he so wanted.
I feel sorry for the guy and for Gary who appears to have no balls at all.

some how I doubt that-I'd say either Yahoo, Google or MSN are at the top.
