Sharing this information here for the value of the community.

I don't support or recommend Epik.

Did they just transfer some of the assets and leave the liabilities behind? That sounds like something that is going to be illegal. IANAL

 

[Samer]

It’s official. This deserves its own thread:

Yes they did. Epik Holdings or Kingdom Ventures has to pay @DomainEmpire.com $1.5 million.

One question. Who is the new owner?!! @Epik Domains now would be a great time to introduce yourself.

"Tactical efforts" = Scamming people for almost a year.

They kept Adkisson's $327,000 escrow payment since May 2022 and Kathleen's $91K since September 2022.
Rob Monster was CEO when the first occurred. Brian Royce was CEO when the second occurred.

We also have all the Masterbucks debts to customer that they left behind, after being blocked from withdrawal since late 2022.

Remember this?

Epik CEO says Masterbucks will return soon with upgrades

"Reduce costs" = Not paying their debts, or processing registrations and renewals they were paid for.

Are we supposed to believe that Rob Monster and Brian Royce heroically "saved" Epik from the mismanagement of Rob Monster and Brian Royce?

What other thread, the 300+ page one that documents Epik's Masterbucks (and other) victims...that are still victims. That thread is more relevant than ever.

They already did introduce themselves, by showing contempt for the customers/victims with comments like this -


"As all of you have documented and somehow had the time to write up 299 pages about this rehashing the same thing 80 different ways"


"If you truly understood the mess behind the scenes what these two men pulled off is miraculous. And any of your speculation is worthless at this point also."


"The story isn't nearly as bad as many posts here make it seem."

I also offered to purchase Epik Holdings for $1 assets and debts. They decided to sell Epik.com and Terra Host for $380,000 because there were no buyers for Masterbucks and their vital services needed for digital empowerment.

You have no idea how much debt is in Masterbucks. That could be a real bum deal.

That's correct but a lot of people would have done better than Brian Royce and Rob Monster.

 

[GoKaizen]

Mr. Monster will return as CEO and majority shareholder of Epik Holdings Inc. The company plans to continue development of resilient infrastructure for digital empowerment with an initial emphasis on empowering the emerging parallel economy. Epik Holdings Inc will change it's name to Kingdom Ventures to avoid confusion, and develop key properties like Masterbucks, Amplify, Bitmitigate, and other vital services needed for digital empowerment.

[domain hacks]

I remember the days when everyone on this forum (and some of you in this thread) promoted that shitty registar. This lasted for many years,I never understood what was the big deal abot it.

Where did the $380,000 figure come from?

When a CEO of a Registrar posts here;
you really appreciate it.
In this day and age of impersonal communication; this was Rob’s greatest gift.
I also admired how he tackled everything head on; —and not run away and cower.
Who‘re you? Can you be forward-thinking, look forward?

@jberryhill said it best on DomainSherpa: The CEO’s “Personal touch” i still wish more did : )

 

[GoKaizen]

It will be miraculous if Brian Royce can ever get another job.

"If you truly understood the mess behind the scenes what these two men pulled off is miraculous. And any of your speculation is worthless at this point also."

The story is worse.

We only know about domain investors having issues.

What about regular customers who were using Epik?
