This week’s video is sponsored by LuxuryNames.com. They are currently auctioning off over 300 domain names ranging from $99 to $50,000 in all different categories, so make sure to check that out.
It never fails. YouTube always takes the worst snapshot for the video thumbnail, lol.
Two weeks ago SnapNames made public the Halvarez fraud and how they intended to clean things up.
Since the release three main concerns have come up:
-Halvarez should be charged for criminal actions. -Rebates should include ALL auctions that Halvarez bid in, not just where he placed second. -The rebate agreement was blanketed to cover SnapNames of every wrong doing ever, instead of limiting it to the Halvarez issue.
Today SnapNames released a letter to all of it’s customers taking care of the last issue. “Accordingly, the revised copy states precisely that the agreement addresses only the SnapNames auctions in which there was bidding activity from the user name “halvarez.”

I received this email earlier today from SnapNames explaining that one of their employees setup an account on their system under a false name and, under this name, bid in SnapNames auctions.
DomainNameNews.com dug a little deeper and found the username created was “Halverez” which belonged to Nelson Brady, VP of Engineering Bidding on Domain Names. This username was also in question as early as December 2006 which you can view the discussions on DNForum.com.
UPDATE – Ron Jackson has just posted pictures of Nelson Brady a.k.a. Halverez, visit DNJournal.com.
I personally applaud Oversee.net for uncovering this issue and not only making it public but providing a solution.
Below is the email in it’s entirety, full details of misconduct and their solution. Continue reading…
