It’s an old marketing wisdom: sex sells. But according to (as yet unverfied) sources the owner of the domain sex.com (Gary Kremen) has sold that domain to a company called Escom LLC. Allegdly he gets $14 million for it. As The Register reports: (…)Kremen had originally registered Sex.com in May 1994 but it was stolen by lifelong con-man Stephen Cohen from under his nose in October 1995. Cohen spent the next five years battling to regain control of the domain. (…)Eventually, however, Kremen won the case and with it $65m in damages. Rather than pay, Cohen fled to Mexico and was on the run from May 2001, until he was finally caught in Tijuana in October. He is now resting in a US jail.(…). Kremen never saw a penny so far of the $65 million. I guess sex sells, but buying it doesn’t make you happy?
Sex.com: $14 million?
