I too would be interested in a summary.

SUMMARY THUS FAR
1) Obviously the victims email was hacked ( He is now a member here and posted in this thread ). Several names were stolen which include pornos.com .
2) The hacker is clearly ALEXA THE TOP ( Iranian Hacker ) , there is debate as to 9MM ( Norman ) role in the actual theft however it can not be confirmed or denied he played a part.
3) ALEXA THE TOP and 9MM proceeded to shop the names in both public as seen here and in private.
4) There were members who eventually purchased names. Jayspot being one to the tune of $120,000 plus dollars ! That was for 3 names. Another member took control of a name from 9MM ( Norman ) in exchange for names he had but when the evidence came out did not push his names and is giving the name back to the rightful owner.
5) When the news eventually broke that the names were stolen a flood of information became available from those scammed into buying names and the theives themself.
6) We learned Jayspot made three seperate payments ( two of which the receipient is in debate between ALEXA and 9MM ) . One via escrow, one western union and one a bank wire ( Note the bank wire was to an Iranian man in Toronto by the name of Ehsan Mahpour. See Mahpour.com for whois information.
7) It is said Ehsan has confirmed receiving the payment for a " friend " and confirmed knowing 9MM and ALEXA THE TOP.
8) ALEXA THE TOP further confirmed his ties to Ehsan Mahpour by posting in this thread he just spoke with him and he is innocent in the matter. 9MM denies knowing Ehsan however Ehsan himself said he knew 9MM and ALEXA THE TOP was shocked 9MM denied it as well .
9) The issue then became getting the domains back to the rightful owner and funds returned to at least Jayspot.
10) ALEXA THE TOP stated 9MM received $5,000 via egold to which 9MM denies this saying he has no egold account yet evidence shows on namepros he uses an egold account. No one addressed receiving the Western Union ( $3,500 ) and when it came to the HUGE escrow payment of $XXX,XXX the finger pointing began between ALEXA and 9MM. Each states the other received the funds, escrow password changes and changing out bank addresses at the last moment and so forth. Who exactly received the funds will now become a legal matter to determine. ( All the best Jayspot )
11) What we do know is 9MM confesses to shopping around a few names on ALEXA's behalf and receiving ****ed.com as a commission which he tried to trade to a member here ( see
#4 ) . He also confesses to knowing of the whole plot yet failed to mention it to anyone. Deciding rather to profit himself. This is where it gets interesting. 9MM down plays his part and ALEXA posts their IM conversation early in this thread showing 9MM was very aware and very involved of the whole situation.
12) At this point ALEXA is clearly not going to cooperate with returning the funds to Jayspot nor is 9MM. The names to my knowledge are starting to be recovered and members here are working with the real owner. 9MM is poked for more information, it is futile as he claims to be just 16, have no phone and never got a penny.
13) More information continues to leak out slowly from members to myself. It is now appearing 9MM was involved more and was brokering even MORE names and went so far as to hand over passwords and was exchanging emails with these members via the real owners email address ( admin ). Further showing he has not told the whole truth and has alot of access and control himself.
P.S. Alot of filler in this thread that is here nor there, the above is basically what has occured and what needs to be done next clearly is a legal and criminal mater. I was hoping Jayspot would simply be returned his money but that looks like a long shot. The real owner seems to be getting things back, maybe he can update where he is at with it all. At least there is two bodies the RCMP ( law enforcement ) here in Canada can get their hands on. I may have missed a few details but did the best I can .
