Mario Monti dot com: Gone with Berlusconi

Posted by DomainGang on November 13, 2011, at 10:53 pm

MarioMonti.com is taken by BuyDomains.

The domain name in dot com of the new interim prime minister of Italy, Mario Monti, is gone for several years now.

BuyDomains owns MarioMonti.com and it was registered in 2005 according to the DomainTools WHOIS tool.

The dot net was registered as soon as speculation over the name of the replacement of scandalous Italian PM, Silvio Berlusconi was announced.

In the same fashion, Lucas Papademos – interim prime minister of Greece – saw his own name in dot com being snapped a few days ago.

Will cybersquatting ever end?

“BuyDomains owns MarioMonti.com”

Not any more. They had a $586 “BIN” price and guess who snapped it up? 🙂

Rick – I noticed that it’s missing from marketplaces such as GoDaddy auctions. Will you be donating it to the Italian prime minister?
