Martin Shkreli, controversial pharmaceutical executive known for rising the price of HIV medication Daraprim from $13.50/tablet to $750/tablet, periscoped himself registering PhilWitmer.com, after Phil wrote THIS ARTICLE for Vice November 28th, 2016.

At time of posting, site is undeveloped. Does the site need to be developed to show malicious intent, or is the video enough evidence?

I learned more about Martin Shreli some time ago via the below Vice Documentary. Other than being a hedgefund manager and pharma exec, he streams most of his life, trolls often, and has a decent size internet following.


I started looking into Martin Shkreli domain names last night after seeing him trending on Facebook.

The journalist he allegedly harassed is teen vogue writer, Lauren Duca (Yes, she owns LaurenDuca.com).

He DM'd Lauren:

Later, Lauren tweeted to Twitter CEO @ Jack

I believe a factor adding to the harassment was Shkreli's following of trolls who chimed in with photoshop images, and messages to Lauren.

Shkreli also tweeted:

Currently an undeveloped domain, but it was registered without privacy, so this enabled me to find other domains regged by Shkreli.

Side Note: This site was used for a proposal in 2006 according to a screenshot from DomainTools.

MarryMeLauren.com - regged January 8, 2017 - is registered to an email address @TuringPharma.com (Shkrelis Pharmaceutical Company) so it's likely owned by Shkreli. TuringPhama.com is registered via Proxy. Other FirstNameLastName.com's owned by Shkreli are:

ChristinaGregg.com - regged January 5th, 2017 - works for AOL news - On the same day Shkreli regged her FirstNameLastName.com, Christina retweeted and mocked Shkrelis inauguration invitation to Lauren Duca.

CurtisBalmer.com - regged December 21, 2016 - Not sure why he regged this domain. Currently not developed.

AndrewKnorr.com - regged December 21, 2016 - no idea why Skreli regged this FirstNameLastName.com. Maybe he is a pharmaceutical professor at the University of Iowa?

RhettJones.com - regged yesterday January 8th, 2017 - Jones is a writer for Gizmodo who recently wrote on Shkreli's Periscope / Twitter suspension. HERE

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
Can these people work together in demonstrating a pattern of bad faith registrations?

Would this be a case of: (a) Harassment (b) UDRP (c) CyberSquatting?

CurtisBalmer.com currently resolves to the following image:

upload_2017-1-9_18-16-51.png


Is this defamation, or do Balmers tweets open himself up to this type of website?

AndrewKnorr.com - according to Archive.org HERE, the page resolved on December 21st, 2016 - the same day of registration.

This website was developed after the twitter altercation see below:

ChristinaGregg.com - To my knowledge, nothing has been written on this page since Martin Shkreli registered it. According to a Archive.org screenshot HERE Christina owned this domain in November 2015. Again, Shkreli registered this FirstNameLastName.com after Christina retweeted the rejection by Lauren Duca.

RhettJones.com - To my knowledge, nothing has been written on this page since Martin Shkreli registered it. According to a Archive.org screenshot HERE RhettJones.com was once Rhett's Blog in 2010. It's not confirmed if the gizmodo writer, and the former domain owner are the same Rhett.

PhilWitmer.com - currently doesn't resolve, but according to Archive.org HERE on December 15th, 2016, Shkreli made the following site:

Side Note: Similar spelling, PhilWhitmer.com was registered a few hours ago. First it redirected me to a Virus Protection Alert (locking my browser), then it redirected to a survey, then it redirected to a SEDO Parked page WW25.PhilWhitmer.com. When clicking 'Buy This Domain' I was redirected to a GoDaddy for sale page with a BIN of $349.

I know, haha. I was a little hesitant to write this given his resources, but I felt somebody had to aggregate all this info.

Plus, I've already been got :/

https://www.namepros.com/threads/somebody-registered-my-full-name-do-i-register-theres.892138/

Maybe I should call him, and tip him off of this post? The victims are already being tipped off. Could anything become if the victims joined forces legally?

Twelve dollars? That's it? That's it? Alright. Cool.
Should've visited NamePros and found some coupons to get that down to a buck.

Respect to Martin for his Wu-Tang purchase; what a fantastic piece of art.

Sure he is unconventional, but that's how genius presents itself. He didn't get to where he is by being stupid.

Why popularise this troll by doing a lengthy piece on him?

Love this thread! Martin Shkreli is clearly trolling these people. I guess he's mastered the art of trolling since taking over 4Chan a few months ago.

Btw, his Twitter account has been suspended because of the photo collage above.

Shkreli is already popularized. The media is currently trending with articles of his alleged twitter harassment. I'm simply aggregating everything I've read for others to read, and possibly make it easier for Skreli's domain victims to show a pattern / intent should they wish to attempt to regain control of their FirstNameLastName.com.

This IMO is just as much news as him being suspended from twitter for harassment as is in a way goes hand in hand.

Not true in terms of 4Chan. Shkreli withdrew a few days after announcing interest, but most of the media didn't cover it.
