information Explosive claim about .xyz and “Swetha”

[Keith]

From Mike Mann on LinkedIn -

“Swetha is just an alias of Dan Negari. The vast majority of those high end .xyz sales are fake. The reason they appear to sell for BIN is because it is too complex and risky to use Afternic as a proxy to negotiate prices with himself.”

If this is true that would be unreal!

On top of all the other factors there is one simple fact. She's been doubling and tripling her portfolio since 2014-2015 (that's when she supposedly started to grow it) despite no sales whatsoever until 2021. And you simply don't do this - as a domainer, businessman, investor - whatever - that's an extremely anti logical thing. She had to pay a million at least already in renewals until she started seriously ''selling'' (put it in brackets for purpose) something.

Imagine you don't sell anything for years (talking about large purchases obviously, considering size of her portfolio), not a single word domain (which cost millions in .com) and for years - would you go ahead and buy more 2- words, misspells, numbers? (I analyzed her portfolio once - there were lots of very weird and simply bad names). Would you? No, you wouldn't do this. No person in their mind would.

And if, let's say, you ''believe'' in tld (how she claimed) and still have some funds to burn - you probably would leave maybe a 1000 cool single-word names, and that's it, and you'll cut the rest and go diversify your portfolio (another thing she never did, and that's extremely weird approach of not buying .com or any other extention), which, amongst the other factors bring me to a simple conclusion -

you only go more and more and more into the only one tld constantly buying if you are really backed up, connected and associated with this tld by somehow, or ... if you are this tld.

I looked at some of the highest price .xyz sales from 2022 by Swetha.

bull can't be reached.
sino forwards to the .com.
wrap still has the Dan sold page.
sportsbet has a sign in page. For what, no idea.
bolt is a blank page.
pixels is a game. Has 116k followers on Twitter.
conduit is a crypto website. Apparently raised $7M.
momentum can't be reached.

Especially after Michael Sumner (from Namebio) claims to have had a look into her Afternic account to verify sales.

It’s a look into an account that could’ve been created by anyone. I highly doubt it came with a drivers license pic..

Tru dat. Hey is it time for a petition to see if she responds? If it's his neighbors' sister what could be proven?

I wish I could say that meant something but I see more names that bring good prices of all types point at nothing. Years and years old for big prices to! Norhing. The lookup was cool you did it. If they did buy an .xyz they better developed before the rot sets in.

She had to pay a million at least already in renewals until she started seriously ''selling'' (put it in brackets for purpose) something.

She obviously never paid for renewals. This must have been the 5 or 7 year XYZ plan lol.

I mean seriously when was the last time you have visited an XYZ website? Me never like the 99.99% of people.

Excellent points made!

Don’t know either way. Took a look at some sales, lots of crypto/nft sales, generic but well known company names like paramount, clubhouse not so generic names like Clinique, so companies that have money.

So for this to be a scam, Daniel would have to be smarter than the rest of the domaining community, which based on his past history, is hard to believe. Because I haven’t seen anybody definitively take this apart.

I do not understand all this negativity for Swetha.

Especially after Michael Sumner (from Namebio) claims to have had a look into her Afternic account to verify sales. https://namebio.com/blog/swethas-sales-the-truth-may-shock-you/

If you have a lot of .xyz premium names, you can expect to sell some of them at high prices. Most people do not have quality (premium) domains in such large quantities and are apparently unable to fathom her success.

So you go to a National Corvette show and all the 1985 Vettes are selling at sky high prices while the '67 tri power 427 aluminum head side pipe Marboro Red Air conditioned 4 speed L88 gets no attention. Wouldn't happen on this planet or any other. That kind of deal is what some of us feel.

Something along those lines.

There's no-doubt about the smaller sales that happened and continue to happen. I think everybody started to question the authenticity of sales when every week there were many major sales reports amounting to several millions of dollars in total with no apparent buyers coming forward to confirm their purchase. You'd think a few would would want the publicity.

To my mind they were just Asset buy-ins by the registry (possibly a shell co) to give a perceived value. No tax implications or declarations required. Just $ figures to assets held, which is pretty meaningless. You can downgrade that figure (even to zero) at any time.

all/any dirt will come-out in the wash sooner or later. I guess had it worked .xyz sales would be on meteoric rise, then the hyped values may have materialized. Mr Trump would probably be able to explain the concept better than me.

 

[nametrekker]

so sad if true --- you don't know what to believe these days

i did have some decent .xyz domains -- but I let them drop - no offers

i'm keeping my profile .com, then .ai, .io, and a few .de and co.uk and some one word .tv domains that fit the extension

i'm extremely conservative in adding domains to my portfolio ... I try to acquire domains regged prior than 2002, except for the .ai domains of course

who says Swetha is Negari? that's pretty bold statement

 

[DomainBanana]

It's a baseless, ridiculous claim that doesn't deserve repeating.

It stinks of misogyny and racism.

Mann can't stand that he got beat by a woman.

Swetha is real and one of the all-time best domain investors, period.

Deal with it.

 

[Jay]

Well, I'm happy I'm not the only one that thought the so-called value of these gtld's was completely bonkers.

Seeing the numbers for .xyz sales and the lack of any consumer-facing credible brand leveraging this extension yet just didn't make sense.

I will agree the misogyny and racism is off the rails on this post! I have no idea how this has not been shut down and an extensive investigation into the anti proof Swetha exists documents been revealed. Damning! Nothing but Damning!

Misogyny? Racism?!

No one is speculating about anyone's ethnic origin or sexual identity.

There are some oddities about sales that have been going on for a long time, and these issues are trying to be clarified.

Next time you're going to defend something, try defending from plausible points. Don't try to create a quarrel with aggressive attitude like a Karen.
