Auction John Zuccarini Domain Names April 8 — Court to

Court-appointed receiver finally set to auction off domain names.

The long saga of John Zuccarini’s domain names might be winding to a close.

On April 8, 2011, court-appointed receiver Michael Blacksburg will auction off dozens of domain names to satisfy a cybersquatting judgment against Zuccarini. Zuccarini also owes the IRS significant taxes.

Most of the domain names are typos and might be problematic to buyers. For example, 50cen.com and 50sent.com could be a problem with rapper 50 Cent depending on how they’re used. Some of the typos are generic but it could still be a challenge to hold on to them as a “fresh registrant” in a UDRP or court action (e.g. astology.com.)

You can see a complete list of the domain names here (pdf).

At one point last year Rick Latona planned to auction the domains off at a TRAFFIC conference, but that plan was canceled.
