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.

I didn't realize this is how you actually made your money. You really do love Newbies! For a second I started to think you actually did want to help new domainers until I saw you offered this paid service on your website. Sad.

In all fairness, there is nothing wrong here, it's business, it's marketing. Domaining is no exception.

Products/services are thrown into the market everyday, most are junks but that's reality, people hustle. As a buyer you are expected to be wise, careful and all that, and as a seller, you are expected to be fair and deliver on your promise more than anything else.

I'm here to help you. I'm here to help him. I'm here to help her. I'm here to help everybody in the domaining world because I'm a great person, but if you want me to be a nice guy and review your portfolio of 50 names it will cost you $143.74 and an extra $50 if you want to do it live on Skype plus $50 for the recording. LOL

Wool over your eyes…..

So all the newbies on this forum are welcome to send you lists of their domains for your free evaluation and feedback, and you'll even record and edit a video of your review for free?

That's great, I'll let them know!

@Adam Dicker
I would appreciate it if you can assure @LannyB that NO legal or personal retribution will be made against her by you or your associates for sharing her story and experience here with us. That she will be allowed to live free and clear to continue her pursuit of a career of her choice. No-one should have to live looking over their shoulder every few minutes. Can you do that?

THAT...

 

[domainerfella]

I booked two vacations with my girlfriend that I had to cancel because of these non-payments. We ended up breaking up shortly after that summer as our relationship ground to a halt. I just had no money and I was eating ramen noodles like a college kid.

Take it as a blessing in disguise Bob as you got rid of a person who wouldn't stand with you at tougher times. LOL

 

[DomainGist]

do you value your time, hookbox?

do you value it more then $50 / hour?

if not you probably don't live an the western word
life is expensive here

I completely agree that there is nothing wrong with charging for domain evaluation, in fact it is a logical progression from appearing on Sherpa evaluating domains, considering all the people that would start emailing for your "help".

But it also begs the question, isn't $143 actually very cheap to hire the time of somebody who likes to project an image of themselves as a highly successful millionaire internet entrepreneur?

Doesn't that suggest that they are worth less than they like people to think? This is something that they can't outsource, you are buying the time of the top guy for $143...... I'm surprised somebody who claims 6, 7 and 8 figure domain sales would sell themselves so cheap.

I mean, if it takes him 1 hour per evaluation, then a 40 hour week doing 40 reviews a week at $143 each with no holidays would only gross $297K a year.

Considering he's claimed to have businesses making 6 figures a month, and 7 & 8 figure domain sales, do you think he'd really be offering $143 portfolio appraisals if he was as successful as he has sometimes claimed?

Hmmmm..... I think we all know what this actually refers to.

Shane Bellone has bailed on this person, by declaring this thread "done", when it should perhaps be him seeking these assurances as a prerequisite to agreeing not to publish part 2.

Shane, why have you backtracked on publishing part 2, and declared yourself finished with this thread, without seeking this assurance yourself?

I am sure this has nothing to do with Shane and more to do with the NDA Lanelle Barber signed.

 

[DomainGist]

I am sure this has nothing to do with Shane and more to do with the NDA LannyB signed.

Well all I can say is that I hope Shane hasn't knowingly thrown this person to the wolves without caring about the consequences, simply to further his agenda, and then walked away when he's achieved his objectives.

This is a bit of a development isn't it.

So, has Shane encouraged her to share her story, and did he know about the NDA? If so, it has plenty to do with him.

Unlike you I am not going to refer to that poster by her full name, because she hasn't used her full name as a username, unlike you.

No! it has nothing to do with that whatsoever.

Who provided the fuel here exactly?

 

[S-B]

I did not end the thread. I took a step back because it was turning on me.

@LannyB does deserve an apology and much more.

@Adam Dicker has said he will be making a statement.

Why don't we give it more than an hour and see what happens.

 

[Adam Dicker]

Actually, several employees that got this started and commented all signed NDA's and Non Competes.

Right now I am focused on righting the mistakes I made with customers that have issues.

Ed Zachary, I am writing my response to Lanelle now.

I will leave it alone.... but I'm never changing my attitude.

Can an NDA stand if the employee is not paid for many months and made to suffer? Now that NDA is mentioned by Adam... @Adam Dicker , did you and @LannyB sign employment contract?

If only NDA was signed and no real and official employment contract then from the start that was red flag in my world. As far as I know, NDA and employment contracts are two seperate documents.

So unless you can prove otherwise and refute @LannyB. 's claims then I think that NdA will not stand.

Just wait for Adam Dicker's response, like Sir Drago and Shane have requested.

I think I get it now. Just when people were giving you benefit of the doubt. Shane's informants signed NDA's, right?

Now Shane is backing away from this to protect them?

You have to wake up very early in the morning to fool me. Stop being so blind people...
