A cautionary tale regarding stolen domain names.

Buying a stolen domain name can lead to a heap of legal trouble, not to mention losing a lot of money.

He explains the due diligence that raised a number of red flags and how he confirmed the domain was stolen. Fortunately, the story has a happy ending.
