The dotASIA - complot

[WhoNet]

the dotasia-complot
fortune made by Lucky Rich

the amazing story about .asia auctions and a lot of top domains caught by bidding parties, which are owned by "Lucky Rich" Richard Schreier, the CEO of dotasia-auctioneer pool.com.



June 2007: DotAsia announced Sunrise of .asia Domains.

July 2007: DotAsia announced the agreement with Pool.com, a Canadian company, to be the Auction Partner for auctions arising from the .Asia Sunrise and Landrush processes.

October 2007: Sunrise Period - Name Registration starts for Trademark Holders. If there is more than one Trademark Holder, there will be an auction between the applicants.

January 2008: Auctions for these Sunrise Applications get started

February / March 2008: We found out the relationship between auctioneer pool.com and bidding party Drake Ventures Ltd.: Drake is owned by Drake Domains Corporation (Barbados) and the owner of drakedomainscorp.com is Richard Schreiber, CEO of auctioneer pool.com.

April 2008: We informed dotasia (PDF document 2MB). We received several non-committal mails from Edmon Chung, CEO of dotasia. The most remarkable sentence from Mr. Chung: "Being a party related to a bidding party, in my understanding, does not automatically create any issue."

May 2008: We informed dotasia, that Throne Ventures Pty Ltd. is also involved in this complot. Throne is owned by Drake and both have won several auctions with a lot of topdomains until today .

What we see:

Bidding parties owned by the CEO of the auctioneer seems to be no problem for dotasia.
Grabbing a lot of top-domains by the CEO of the auctioneer seems to be no problem for dotasia.
The probable cause that the auctioneer and its CEO knows and exploits the maximum bids of all competitors seems to be no problem for dotasia.

Re: Special Advisory on Allegations About DotAsia (and Pool.com)


Dear Friends of DotAsia,


We have received information that a disgruntled .Asia customer has recently been propagating allegations about inappropriate behaviour by DotAsia (and Pool.com) in the management of the auction process for the .Asia Sunrise. We have and will continue to try to reach out to them
regarding their issues and to attempt to turn a disgruntled customer around.


We are issuing this special advisory to reassure you that DotAsia is committed to upholding the integrity of the registry and is confident that our processes, including those with our service providers do not compromise our commitments. At this point, there is no evidence from our
investigation suggesting that bidders have been advantaged or disadvantaged due to their relationship or non-relationship with Pool.com our auction services provider. We have also posted a special advisory regarding Auction Tampering on our website earlier in March:
http://www.registry.asia/policies/DotAsia-AdvisoryOnAuctionTampering--2008-03-24.pdf.


All .Asia Sunrise (SR2) applications are reviewed and verified by our Verification agents including Deloitte and AGIP. This further ensures the integrity of our process. This also explains that not all applied for domains will be accepted and not all accepted applications will go to auction. In fact, only a very small percentage of the received applications went through the auction process.


Furthermore, as in fact can be shown from response emails posted on the website making the allegations, DotAsia have been working hard to try our best to address the issues raised. Therefore, the characterisation of our non-action, in our opinion, is ungrounded.


Nevertheless, please feel free to contact me directly should you have any further questions. DotAsia appreciates everyone’s understanding regarding the matter and will continue to exert our best efforts to work with all .Asia customers to provide them with the best support possible.




Sincerely,
Edmon Chung
Chief Executive Officer
DotAsia Organisation
