They finally caught mr. sex.com!

With an ending that would put a thriller to shame, four years after a $65 million court judgment went against him, after fleeing the country and staging a dramatic escape, former online-porn master Stephen Michael Cohen was finally arrested by Mexican authorities in Tijuana and handed over to U.S. agents on Thursday.

Did anyone read about this story a while ago? Basically he tricked the registrar into transferring the domain over to him years ago and somehow managed to keep the domain for 4 years while making money from it with his own site! He made millions whilst it was in his possesion. It's amazing why it took so long for him to be brought to justice in the first place.

Did you read the article? Hacking has nothing to do with how he did it.

He tricked ICANN in 95 I think when this whole domain name registration thing was fresh and new. The original owner got it for free I believe.

Roj

well thats really interesting.

Lmao...personally i'd be emberessed if my name was assosiated with sex.com (even though it makes so much money)

I really wouldn't be embarassed mainly for the fact that i was bringing in so much money ... Money makes the world go round.
