Country: | Great to see justice prevail, however victims of domain theft shouldn't have to have connections in law enforcement to put the crook behind bars. |

so in this case: Domain Thief Lands in Jail After Picking the Wrong People to Steal From but sadly, for other cases: Domain Thief Roams Free After Picking the Right People to Steal From "the right people" being average domainers who don't have million-dollar domains or connection to law enforcement agencies.

Country: | The only reason "justice prevailed" was because of the high profile and wealth of the victims. These two millionaires who seems to have jointly owned the domain could'nt keep their accounts from being hacked and the domain was even sold probably before they even realized it was stolen? Many people had domains stolen and never got them back. Many domainers, such as myself, had their domains stolen by people using Paypal and never got them back. Maybe someone should prosecute paypal.
