Is Adam Dicker a criminal? You decide.

[S-B]

This story starts with DNF; a barren wasteland that once was a leading forum within the domain industry. While the forum itself played a huge role in propagating the myth that is Adam Dicker, the story really begins with DNF College in the summer of 2011.

From what I understand, Adam still owes north of $33,000 to previous customers and business partners. As I receive more information, I will update this figure.

harming Michael Cyger was unnecessary.

Michael is the kindest and most honest man in the industry. Unfortunately, this log was passed to me. I hate that it has impacted him - I truly do.

EDIT: Just read your article. The info about Adam may or may not be true but publishing Michael Cyger's conversation is dead wrong unless he gave you permission.
Why anyone would do business with you at this point is beyond me. Just the fact that you are going to hang them out to dry if things go bad would be enough for me. Again, not saying the info is wrong or right but harming Michael Cyger was unnecessary.

Well said!

BTW, did you notice his blog's tagline "Sorry Cultra".

Omgg..

I don't really see what damage it has done to him, he actually comes out of this very well.

Great. So, I'll ask again. What is the crime, and what is evidence for that crime? You seem clear about it so you should be able to answer the question. And no pictures necessary, words are fine.

OK, so if Shane changed the title from "Is Adam Dicker a criminal? You decide." to "IS Adam Dicker Dicking you." Would there be a problem? You people are focusing on one broad aspect of him calling the guy a criminal. I'm not a lawyer and not going to get into the legal aspects of this but that's all you people are knocking him for.

 

[HeyNow]

The truth either way needs to be exposed for the sake of the industry.

Yeah, well, good luck with that.

I think even "scammer" would be better than "criminal".

That's all? So you think that branding someone a criminal is a minor deal? Ok, I guess we have a difference of opinion on that one.

And honestly Pug, you may be right but let's stuff focusing on the little stuff and think about they more important stuff.

I'm sure it still has caused him a headache. I feel terrible and wrestled with this decision for a while. Ultimately, it was the most damning evidence that I was able to share without giving up my sources.

I read the blog article but I am not sure what Adam Dicker has done. Maybe lose money? Or be discontinued on DomainSherpa? Or has he taken money for services that were not provided or were not as described? Have people invested in businesses he did not launch? Are people trying to get money back from him and staying quiet until they do?

Are there any know victims?

Answers to come.

 

[Templr]

Yeah, well, good luck with that.

Well, if that's what you expect from a non regulated industry. Just look at ICANN.

 

[discobull]

I hope he's paying you to defend him in such a minor. His name is "Dicker..." I guess that speaks volumes...

You're confused. I'm not defending anyone, you are. What I'm doing is attacking Shane for knowingly posting an allegation that he clearly knows he can't substantiate. You apparently are okay with that sort of thing and I expect you'll continue to be until he turns on you as well.

 

[Domain Shane]

And yes, the title of the blog was pretty funny. Just don't like the idea of private conversations being stolen. And if it wasn't given by either of them (and it wasn't) it was stolen.

Good thing Mike and I converse through Ravens.

Aren't you a clairvoyant detective.
