Episode: Grand Theft Domain Name - DNW Podcast
Description: When Sex .com was stolen in the 90s, it was most likely the most valuable domain name in the world. And it wasn't just a routine domain theft like what occurs today. What transpired involved a lifelong conman, an early internet entrepreneur, hidden cash, prison, fleeing to Mexico, drug-fueled parties, and millions of dollars in legal expenses. On today's show, reporter Kieren McCarthy, who wrote a book about the theft, digs into the story. Â Also: CentralNic doubles down, .Org appeal process, premium sales, ad networks and more.
