Domain investor, Mike Mann
Domain entrepreneur, Mike Mann, is an out-of-the-box thinker, and most definitely outspoken.
The founder of Phone.com, DomainMarket and the Make Change! Trust has openly criticized GoDaddy for their off-target domain valuations.
Mike calls the GoDaddy app a “scambot,” and provides proof of it by sharing domain sales data.
In recent days, Mike Mann invited GoDaddy to a remarkable challenge: he offered to take control of the Registrar’s 2 million domains, and manage their fate and sales for maximum ROI.
In doing so, Mike confronted Paul Nicks, VP of Aftermarket at GoDaddy on Twitter. He now explains why he’s so rough on GoDaddy:
The reason I’m so rough on Godaddy is due to one rotten egg there, who screwed me over badly on multiple occasions over a long period (which also harms the charities I help); illegal and costs me a fortune; among his many other illegal acts elsewhere
Mike Mann continues on the subject of his antipathy for GoDaddy:
[…] and who public company Godaddy is fully aware of; who of course I was never going to let walk; I never let anyone screw me over and walk; lesson for those still in debted, or broke the law at my expense, or harmed my daughter. I’ll be back, in spades; bet on it.
So who is the person at GoDaddy that screwed Mike Mann over?
It could be someone from middle management or sales, or an account manager – Mike Mann would not be specific at this time, but this might change in the future.
