Stolen domains returned to rightful owner
Those of you that had the patience to read through my exceptionally long post about the stolen domain names jis.com, leading.net, southeast.net and jaxnet.com – should be delighted with the news.
The domains have been returned to their rightful owner, Karl Renaut and are now in his possession and control, as Karl confirmed this to me earlier today.
After directly contacting the winner of FloridaDigital.net to inform him that his wrongful actions would have serious consequences, that gentleman did the right thing and contacted Karl Renaut at Windstream and handed over the domains.
In the process, the advice of expert IP attorney Marc Randazza was utilized and I’m glad this is a case where justice and logic prevailed.

Great work! Even if the thief did something very wrong, it’s good to see he has a conscience after all…

wow that was fast.
The guy paid what, $2600 for a shot a lot more.
Gamble failed.
Fairness was done here.

“Great work! Even if the thief did something very wrong, it’s good to see he has a conscience after all…”
In this case I would argue that it was more self preservation then conscience. He knew he was screwed if he tried to keep it.

Whatever the real reasons, at least he didn’t drag it out. “All’s Well That Ends Well” as Shakespeare wrote

Had it not been for your diligent report, work and so called exceptionally long post (which did provide the necessary background and ‘justification’ behind your thoughts and efforts), do you honestly think such a positive outcome would have been forthcoming?
Go ahead, pat yourself on the back and bask in the glory of a job well done!

I had found your post very instructive: I am sure it made several people aware of a potential risk many had never thought about. Glad to read the pressure worked and the thief had to give the domain names back!
