“This Can’t Happen To Us”…written to you by the same people who can change the “policies in place.” We wouldn’t do it isn’t a valid line of defense, sorry.

NameJet better be prepped. They have much higher ticket names dropping than Snap. Interesting to note that many of the names sold and bid on at Snap where he was involved were TM names. Wonder if that will play a role in the settlement at all. Just curious.

I have a good idea! Let it be on the ones who hired and fired him!
That way they will be responsible for illegally abuse of the United States of America all Small Business men! Nelson Brady should be shot to death by the american government as a spi or selling are goverment out to the best bidder, in his own realm! Not every bodys trying like hell to bid there and if they do and is no response then they should be investagated, to whom did Neslon Brady contact or his line of gang did he contact. Stolen off to a bidder on line, on some other web! The ones who hired him should be responsible for the half of every thing he sold! The ones who got the Federal Bids should be given a warning of $15,000.00 to be payed the the Federal Government and the will be taken off the list for five years! What do you think! This should be another black and blue mark for the Federal Government! But
at least we can show the others, what happens if you dabble with are government! What do you think! Should we execute him (Nelson Brady)
or do you want him to live on are hard earned money (send him to jail).
NOT, KILL THE AUCTIONER he is A Shill Bidding, money grubbing man!

I actually think that, although he obviously would have preferred not to have sent this letter, that it was a necessary evil. Ron Jackson’s article explains it well: the entire market is going to feel this and if a company doesn’t respond immediately to the situation, then its customers are going to feel left in the dark. Every day that goes by, confidence will erode. At the same time, the way he put this does seem a bit haphazard.

Anyway, I checked out this article because I was hoping for some answers as to WHY Nelson would shill bid. Did he have stock or options in Snapnames/Oversee? What possible incentive would he have to do this unless he had ownership or unless he was directed by his superiors?

Anybody ever find themselves being notified they are in an auction for a name they never ordered in the first place?… and then end up “winning” it at minimum bid, even though there are supposedly 4 other bidders?

Next it will be pool.com coming out with something similar, then we’ll really know we are being taken for a ride. For some of these companies I think people just assumed there was dummy bidders.

I prefer to see Audit report from the 3rd party. It would be nice for them to bring this to the public.

“NameJet has Strict Security to Prevent Anything Similar.”

Which joins the trash heap of other worthless slogans:

“Don’t be evil.”

“I am not a crook.”

“This ship is unsinkable.”
