Here's the latest update courtesy of Bloomberg News: "The Miami Herald ran a story Oct. 4 saying the tribe had offered Thiele money for his Web site and that he was unwilling to sell for less than $500,000. The story was incorrect because the tribe didn't offer to buy Thiele's domain names, the tribe said in the second infringement complaint it filed when it sued Michel Cohen in Miami federal court Oct. 8. Michel Cohen registered www.miccosukeetribeofindians.net on Sept. 5, the day after the Miami Herald story about Thiele was published. He telephoned the tribe Oct. 6, offering to sell the tribe the name he registered, according to court papers. Cohen told the tribe he got the idea of registering the name and offering it for sale from the Herald's story about Thiele, the tribe said in its complaint against Cohen.

This story was definitely one of the craziest I've heard. I don't understand how anybody could scoff at a hundred grand for a hand-reg like these were. I had trouble believing that Thiele actually had a $100k offer, but when I emailed him he was very emphatic. I still have my doubts and am curious as to whether anyone has confirmed it from the other side? Nice title, btw... sometimes it does pay to hold 'em, though... I just got a RDNH ruling against PokerHost.com for trying to UDRP PokerHost.net from me. Now I'm kind of at a loss on how to even move forward. Still waiting on a #1 stunna t-shirt from Mr. Thiele.
