In my shifting of what has been said around forums and blog postings and comments on the breaking news story of Nelson Brady aka SnapNames.com bidder "Halvarez" who also happened to be VP of Engineering at SnapNames… he seemed to have liked Trademarked terms to boot!

JeniferLopez.com appears to have been won by Mr Halvarez under the name Hank Alvarez 2346 NW Clarion Ste 303 New City, NY 10956. US +1 626 576 0292 domainqueue@gmail.com according to whois history records.

A bid history page from a Snapnames.com auction for the domain name GoogleTrends.com from May 25, 2006 is detailed on Avensen.com here. According to that bid history results, bidder id "Halvarez" won that domain for $2,051. Doing a whois history on the domain shows a record on 5-30-2006

as the owner of the domain GoogleTrends.com . the same domainqueue@gmail.com was used in that record. Google owns the domain name now as they should!

F1GPNews.com (Formula One Grand Prix ) shows a 01-01-2009 whois history record for the above but a "new address"

Domain Name: F1GPNEWS.COM 

Registrant:
    Domainqueue
    Domain Admin        (domainqueue@gmail.com)

    Tel. +1.2532752381

Macaffee.com is another one currently owned by domainqueue@gmail.com with the same above address. This is a clear typo of Mcafee.com .

According to whois registrant search via DomainTools.com, the email used is associated to 5,939 domain names total (historical) and currently 3,090! I would order the report with historical data, but at the cost of $20,697.93 is a little pricey! I have an email in asking for a little help on the list from our good friends at DomainTools.com !

I will keep you updated with more stuff that I discover and maybe some more domains this snake has or had!

Side Note: I also noticed that Snapnames appears to have Removed Bid History from domains the bidder Halvarez WON. I still see him in at least one auction bid history that I won but it appears just the domains he "won" were removed from the bid history.

    Hello,
    I have a bad history with Mr Halvarez. He acquired the domain name and sold it for another company.

    LiveCRM.com on snapnames. I was only the only bidder and he joined by another id. Halvarez was not only his id. He was doing his game under more than one id.

    you guys in the domain/dotcom biz are a piece of work when it comes to this sort of stuff it seems? There is nobody really watching what goes on is there?
    Sanpnames timulus money some call it…ripoof is what i call it, because of course I was one who had a lot of trouble with snap names and in the end lost my domain name?
    The more I read today?
    the more I understand what was going on three yrs ago?
    Today how ever? I filed a complaint with the Oregon AG.
    Let the chips fall where they may.

    I paid more than $10,000 to get our domain back. Halvarez was the other bidder in the process from $1,500 to $9,300 and then “Sobeclub” jumped into the bidding. Seems a little strange that “Sobeclub” only had 3 bids which were $60, $9,300 & $9,400. After the $9,400 it went back to Halvarez and myself until I won at $10,350. I actually called Snapnames at the time (2005) and told them I believe this to be fraud but had no way to prove at the time. I also believe the person I spoke to on the phone was Nelson Brady of SnapNames, AKA Halvarez. Does anyone know who “Sobeclub” is? If you believe fraud was committed against you by “Sobeclub” please let me know as I’m trying to investigate. If you want to reach me please reply on this loop with your contact information.
