Wow, not good.

He was obviously helping to cook the books for investors.

There is Nelson Brady in every DN auction house

Today was truly a very sad day for our industry but in a way this needed to happen.

Hopefully oversee.net can untangle the mess and come out ok (considering all things)

As far as the Nelson Brady dork goes, he might as well get used to the idea of living in a jail cell.

There is no way that he is going to commit such a large scale fraud & cost this company millions of dollars overall (minimum) and not goto federal prison. Hey for all we know this matter goes even farther up the line than just this doomed queerbait though. Time will tell, & greed will get ya everytime.

He's a propped up scapegoat...

Can you support that allegation?

**jdk** · 11-05-2009, 09:17 AM

Can you say class action?

Though not hard evidence, it is supported on a couple of other pages and blogs where it's theorized that as a major stockholder in SN, he inflated the revenues and profit margins to make it attractive to Oversee, who forked out 25M for the company. He kept doing it, and by his own admission in an email thread another member posted, started backing out. He could not of been acting alone though.

My theory is Oversee got wise, confronted Snapnames, who fingered Nelson. But as the old saying goes, the truth always comes out in the end.

I don't think for a minute we've heard the end of this story. Not by a longshot.

Placing a face with alleged Mr. Fraud. Thanks Duke.

Oversee.net shouldn't even be allowed to touch anything...the proper authories should be locking that place down and going through all the files. The dollar amount is too high and the whole thing probably goes so deep that only an outside third party should be trusted to untangle this. JMO

Is Oversee.net on the stock exchange??? or a private company?

**Big P** · 11-05-2009, 10:06 AM

Always good to have a face to go along with a name. Thanks!

**H2FC** · 11-05-2009, 11:53 AM

Its further proof of the greed and corruption running rampant in every part of our business world. If something isn't done to get a handle on this it will eventually destroy our capitalistic free markets.

This is the very reason our economy is in the gutter now...and its the one thing that can and will destroy the freedoms we all enjoy. In my opinion this is a bigger threat than all the terrorists combined.

If he was driving up prices, he was driving up the value of the company (SnapNames) as well. As being one of the startups and one of the investors in SnapNames, I am sure he profited quite nice from the $25 million sale.

The net worth of a company is going to be based on its revenue and track record. So how much of that was propped up by falsely inflated prices, bids, and sales?

I see this as being no different from insider trading and cooking the books - manipulating the prices to attract potential buyers.

I am sure Oversee.net sees this as the case now. Was the company indeed worth $25million? or only $16mm?

As for allegations, I don't need to provide proof. Proof is in my own SnapNames account and the accounts of hundreds (thousands?) more.

It will be up to Nelson and the SnapNames upper echelon to prove this was not the case.

That will be a failed task.

Bernard Madoff did it all alone . Nelson Brady did it all alone. Yeah . Sure .

**clemzonguy** · 11-05-2009, 09:33 PM
