SnapNames and Oversee.net Sue Nelson Brady aka Halvarez
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010
Lawsuit filed against former employee over bidding scandal.
SnapNames and its parent company Oversee.net have sued Nelson Brady, the former employee allegedly at the center of a massive bidding scandal last year. The company is seeking $33 million in damages.
In a media statement, the company said:
“Oversee will be demanding millions of dollars from Brady for the damage he caused to Oversee and SnapNames. No amount of money, however, could compensate the damage Brady has caused to SnapNames’ and Oversee’s reputation in the marketplace.”
Last year the company also voluntarily disclosed Brady’s conduct to both the US Attorney’s Office and to the Federal Trade Commission. Oversee will not publicly discuss anything relating to law enforcement matters.
According to the company, it has been trying to settle the matter with Brady out of court, but that those settlement efforts were unsuccessful.
Domain Name Wire will be reviewing the case filed in federal court in Oregon (Portland district) and updating you with details.

WE are all responsible for our actions but Snapnames and Oversee must accept some responsibility. If a bar serves too much beer, they can be liable if someone is drunk and drives.
If your employees are manipulating the sytem, they are certainly resposnible, but you as the employer must be accountable for not seeing it, stopping it and correcting it.
Amazing how industries, politics and companies pin the tail on the donkey and blame others, but never take the burden of accountabilty themselves
My two cents
I’m not surprised Snapnames finally snapped. The timing with this http://bit.ly/a4ufLQ is odd though.
Um, I didn’t know you could see your own employee. You are responsible for your employee.
He can be held criminally, but I don’t know if they can sue him.
“If your employees are manipulating the sytem, they are certainly resposnible, but you as the employer must be accountable for not seeing it, stopping it and correcting it.”
And how has Oversee not done that? They paid out for every customer whose bid was bumped up, they modified the settlement agreement in response to customer feedback, they reported Brady to two law enforcement authorities, and now they are trying to get back what he cost them.
Oversee has been accountable for what happened. Nelson Brady was not just any employee, either. As VP of engineering, he was uniquely positioned to cover his tracks. However, he was caught, turned over to law enforcement, the customers compensated, and he’s going to pay.
What, specifically, is it that you think Oversee should do here, which it has not done and is not doing?
“He can be held criminally, but I don’t know if they can sue him.”
Of course they can. Employers and employees sue one another all of the time. It’s a pretty safe bet that Nelson Brady was acting outside of the terms of his employment contract.
So, the takeaway here is that if you’ve been embezzling from the cash register at work, you had better be prepared to pay that back.
@ John
My questions to the statement are:
How long did it take before they saw the abuse? Many customer complaints, yet no investigation. This was not a weekend affair but years of manipulation.
Grant you – he must of covered his tracks well and yes – rebates are in full swing.
My appologies. I was unfair to SnapNames and Oversee.
My recommendation would be let the law do its thing. Then when convicted, sue if need be.
Personally, everytime they bring this event up, such as announcing this suit, they expose the sore again. Let it heal. let the law do their thing and move forward.
They will win more money back by focusing on customer service and building relationships instead of trying to recoup the lost money due to Nelson.

Again my appolgies to Snap Names and oversee.
“The timing with this http://bit.ly/a4ufLQ is odd though.”
domaingang,
Stop spamming, especially when you use a url shortener so people don’t know where the link will send them. Do you need the traffic that badly?
Andrew should take down your link so people don’t click through.
@ Mikey – people have been blasting oversee for not suing Brady, saying there must be more to the case than what meets the eye. By filing the suit, they are showing they are clean. A lot will come out because of this, but they must be confident Brady was the only one at fault.
As for the many customer complaints, I think Oversee has explained this already. Every time someone complained, they asked Nelson Brady to investigate.
“Many customer complaints, yet no investigation.”
Put your thinking cap on for a moment. You run a tech company. You are getting complaints and want to investigate them. Who do you have investigate it? The marketing people or the VP of engineering?
You see how that works.
Oversee announced it because of the contingent that still subscribes to some kind of conspiracy theory that Oversee wouldn’t sue Nelson because they were in on it.
Domain Investments: Hardly “spam” when I sign my post with my name, unlike you. If my post hit a nerve, maybe you need thicker skin.
Actually I did just see that he is now trying to sell shares in a new company.
Now it makes sense as he (Nelson) just announced this a few days ago. I too would have filed a suit immeidately thereafter.
Again my appologies.
This post has been very educational – thank you.
i give up.
Andrew – I’ll fish it out for you
Mikey – DomainGang is a parody site. Keep in mind that “Hank Alvarez” is not a real person’s name, it’s a bidding identity Nelson Brady – the person being sued by Oversee – used while he was a VP at Snapnames.
Some people don’t like the mixing of real events with twists of reality for the purpose of entertainment. That’s why DomainGang – or TheOnion – are not suitable for everyone.
LOL
Can you spell N_E_W_B_I_E ?
Further education…I feel like an idiot.
“When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.â€
Cynthia Heimel quote
Facinating, first Oversee ducks a class action law suit because the class action threshold had to have been 15 million and this the suit was tossed by the court?
Here the magic number is 33-m…talk about creative math?
I just got my check.
@ stewart – the $33m include punitive damages. I believe the $5m number had to be actual losses incurred by the class.
@stewart
Apples and oranges, Stewart. If I steal the company car, drive it down the street and hit your $50 mailbox, then your claim against the company is $50.
The company’s claim against me is your $50 mailbox AND the damage to the car.
@Steve – in America, anyone can be sued for anything at anytime. It’s the American way.
“That’s why DomainGang – or TheOnion – are not suitable for everyone.”
Comparing DomainGang to The Onion? You really are a funny guy.
Logan – apparently so, from the replies.
I think I understand now. That is why they need to look at the contract Nelson signed.
Nelson better be putting his money in a trust fund or some place they can’t touch it.
He had to know he would get caught. Especially when he was voted #1 sniper by everyone.
Most companies have a policy of furloughing sick employees, so they can get needed R&R. Brady engaged in sick behavior, IMO . . . was it necessary to sue?
I suspect the way they came to the amount of $33M will be explained clearer, later on.
Should be interesting to see, may be a lot of show rather than go as real loss was $XM?
Oh? I get it? Only Oversee is entitled to the presumption of damages, not The Class? is that it then? Bottom line? 33 Mil.
Little people are not entitled to damages? Leona Helmsley would be delighted to have heard that.
“Then when convicted, sue if need be.”
Mickey–they can’t wait for that, as there’s a (often “just” 1-2 yrs) relatively short (compared to criminal) statute of limitations on civil actions.
I will stick to reading the posts. A newbie, naive and certainly not as versed as you guys. Keeep it going – I am learning alot from this.
Mike
See my latest post to understand how they came up with $33M
JB said,
“They paid out for every customer whose bid was bumped up”
I think you meant “offered to payout every customer”
A lot of people have not accepted payment yet.
isAnalplex is not funny at all, he like a sad clown. Few times I landed at domaingangbang by mistake and always was like “WTF ? Is neither smart nor funny”.
I used snapnames for years.
The question: Did Halvarez ever win an auction? I have asked this, and they didn’t give me a straight answer. Many times, somebody else bid higher, and I stopped.
If Halvarez actually won an auction, then whatever Nelson sold it for, revenue he made, or more, is the damage done to the bidder below him.
So, did he ever win an auction?
If he did, then the damages are huge in lost value, revenue, and opportunity.
Anybody know if he ever won?
By the way, I want my domain name if he outbid me and won, if I was the next highest bidder. If so, I am damaged, plus my lost time and anguish. Depending on the domain name, and what it was to be used for, this is huge, if he won.
Did he ever win?
Here are some of the ones he won -

“I think you meant “offered to payout every customer—
Good point.
“If Halvarez actually won an auction, then whatever Nelson sold it for, revenue he made, or more, is the damage done to the bidder below him.”
I doubt you will get a judge to agree with that theory of speculative damages. If you did not win the name, you did not lose anything, and are not entitled to compensation to make you whole.
I was driving to a job interview and someone hit my car at an intersection. Consequently, I was late to the job interview and someone else got the job. Now, if I had gotten the job, I would have worked there for several years, been promoted, and eventually become president of the company. So, does the person who hit my car owe me years of “lost” salary and an executive compensation and retirement package?
No, they owe me for the fender of my car. You don’t recover for a chain of “coulda, woulda, shoulda” type situations.
Aside from which, I’d love to see someone claiming “damages” from failure to purchase names like “victoriassicret.com”. This is like arguing that some other criminal robbed the bank you were planning to rob before you got there.
John
Alot of these domains now are registered under one owner or at least a good portion, at least from the 10 I randomly picked to see the whois.
makes me wonder…
Berryhill “Aside from which, I’d love to see someone claiming “damages†from failure to purchase names like “victoriassicret.comâ€. This is like arguing that some other criminal robbed the bank you were planning to rob before you got there.”
Including snapnames and moniker lol. The analogy applies. Brady made off with the profits moniker and snapnames would have made from the sale of these obviously infringing domain names themselves thereby effectively it was Brady who was robbing the bank before Moniker had a chance to rob it themselves. Dont just blame the bidders John. To use one of your analogies its not just drug users that go down when the crack house is busted, the dealers go down too. Fortunately for them they can employ good lawyers to tilt the arguments in their favor.
I can see it now….
Your Honor we submit that Mr Brady deprived us of significant revenues by interfering with our ability to market and sell typo domains corresponding to almost every famous trademark in the free world. And while we admit your honor that we did derive enormous incomes from the fact that mr brady parked these domain names with our sister company domainsponsor where we displayed pay per click ads designed to confuse the masses into thinking we were somehow associated with these mark holders and subsequently shared that revenue with Brady, we’re still out a huge amount of cash because Mr Brady lied and covered up the fact that he was buying these infringing names at far less than their fair black market value.”
DomainSponsor is a company with out ethics. Big suprise they had an employee that was without ethics. Slime, meet slime, a marraige made in heaven.
Wow, those are some truly bad names. Seriously, one would think the quality of domains he ‘won’ would be higher. Anything going on with this case?
