How worthless IDN name for sold 31,000 EU

Investigative Reporting

Early in February I got a call on my cell from the guy, let’s call him Dan, in Boston who works for SEDO. I had dealings with him in the past and he appeared to be a nice guy. He helped me buy a number of names for my corporate clients.

I asked Dan, what’s the urgency?
He hung up and called me 10 minutes later on his cell from the parking lot.

Here’s his story:
Dan says he can’t talk to me freely since the new boss Herr Muller is recording all conversations.
The new German-transplanted SEDO team just concocted a plan to generate more revenue at the expense of the foolish domain investors.

Apparently I was on his list of people to call to bid up prices at the SEDO auction.
I was number 57 on the list of 500. Another 10,000 were sent urgent emails.

He thinks this was the forth “emergency auction” authorized by Muller since Christmas.

And today he was pitching domain wìne.com, IDN nonetheless.

The letter “ì” is some kind of weird letter from the Greek alphabet.


Domain name: xn--wne-nma.com
In puni code: wìne.com


This domain was created just a few days BEFORE the auction on a whim:
created-date: 2007-02-05
