Former Sex.com Owner Claims Poverty, Slavery
from the the-saga-continues dept
For more than three years we've been following the saga of the sex.com domain. It appears (for those of you who haven't been reading Techdirt for three years) that the domain was stolen in 1995 by forging some documents. After many years going back and forth over legal arguments, the original owner won it back - and was supposed to be awarded $65 million from the guy who stole it. That guy is now claiming poverty and saying he can't even afford to buy toilet paper because all of his money is going to the real owner of the domain. Of course, I don't see why this is anyone's problem but his. He certainly made a ton of money off the domain that he stole, and just because he spent it all or managed it badly, doesn't mean that he shouldn't have to pay it out to the guy he stole from.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
