No mention of Moniker actually, but they did mention the Hell.com auction and a few previous seven figure sales.

If at first a domain name does not succeed, bid, bid again (http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9004480&intsrc=news_ts_head)

In Really Hot Locale: Hell.com Takes Bids (http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&ct=us/0-0&fp=4541c39cdf9f0f33&ei=dPtBRYz-Go6KafHg3JcH&url=http%3A//online.wsj.com/article/SB116190912392405464.html%3Fmod%3Dgooglenews_wsj&cid=0) (subscription)

Moniker is auctioning Hell.com for BAT Flli LLC, a creative think tank whose founder, 57-year-old Kenneth Aronson, registered the name in 1995. Since then, it has been home to a secretive online community, a project Mr. Aronson says will benefit from the proceeds of the Hell.com sale. He says he won't sell Hell.com, which gets about 5,000 new visitors daily, for less than several million dollars. "Hell.com is one of the most powerful brands on Earth," Mr. Aronson says.
