He's a domainer... and obv auctions he bid on that he lost are going to drive up the price... he was trying to win them!?

I can see why this looks bad, but meh... I doubt he can see other users max bids, or bidding info, etc.

But meh, Adam? lol...

Heaven forbid an employee try to spend money on their own company.

Gee, driving up the price on auctions you didn't win? Are they going to complain about everyone who bid in auctions and didn't win then?

I'd love to hear that complaint: "All these people bid on the domain and didn't win so I should get it for the opening price".

I don't know anything of snapnames, been there a couple times ~ but one thing is an employee intentionally running up bid amounts with no intention of buying [dont know, nor believe this is true] and another is a employee bidding on the domain to actually buy it.

From what I have seen with Adam's names / portfolios, I doubt he needs to pull a shady stunt like whats been described... it's not even close to being worth it.

I think it is just some bitter buyers who wanted to get a domain and it was bidded up out of their budget... and it probably frusterated them even more if Adam didn't win it...

I think I remember who started this thing, too - they lost a TDNAM auction and then started this and demanded to get the domain that Adam rightfully won.
