I was there at the very moment the thesis.com controversy was born.

At Namescon 2014, Matt Mullenweg from Wordpress was a last-minute addition to the lineup. After his talk, he stuck around for some photos and well wishers. I was standing there when the owner of thesis.com told him he owned it, and asked for advice on selling it. Matt got a wide grin on his face and said "Hell, I'll buy it". He gave him his card and asked him to contact him after the conference. That was the last I heard about it until this week.

Interesting to see what happened to it after the fact.
