This has nothing to do with jealousy, it has to do with what appears to be the violation of a public trust by Neustar.

Yakov, the only thing I would accuse you of is bad manners, bad enough that you should be at least cautioned by DNF mods.

If you have some facts to offer to this discussion, then please do so. If you bought these domains at a bargain price, then you have nothing to answer for (although it is possible that you could be forced to cough up the domains). However, the original registration of the domains needs to be questioned. I have never maintained that I know many of the relevant facts in this matter. However, it is apparent that a few people were able to benefit on what had been reserved as valuable public property. At a minimum, the Dept of Commerce needs to be brought into this to investigate what has happened here. I started this thread because I hope that enough interest will be generated that the appropriate people will be brought in to investigate, and possibly right what appears to be a travesty.
