I don’t know who poorman is but I have also seen him bid up to 20k on a dubai related name ( a great one), I think it was mainly him and one other bidding.

Is that the name your referring to ?

I have not bid on auctions on snapnames since 2007 because it was becoming very tough to outbid Halvarez without greatly overpaying for the names I wanted. I find it very funny that we cannot go back and see all of the bidders in our auctions. That info seems to be unavailable now.

Additionally, after all the accusations that (justifiably) flew around the boards in the last few years, and were defended a few times by Snap mgt, wouldn’t it be the proper thing to do and check the billing account of Halvarez. Fake the user data all you want, but we need to pay somehow, either check or credit card. Seems only certain elite people could pay by check, and the rest of us do gooders dropped our cards. What about the bidder certifications? Another double standard or oversight. Or accepted fraud/collusion by management.

In my opinion, this is first rate fraud and racketeering, and secondly, more people in legacy AND current Snapnames management should be fired and held criminally liable. After all, Bernie M owned his company, and got nailed along with a few co-conspirators. This is no different, expect Nelson did not completely own Snap.
