Tell us the name of this rogue. I don't want to ever do business with the person, but how to know?


Avoid doing side business with anyone claiming to represent Cyanogen, for starters. I'm sure they haven't released his name at the advice of a lawyer (or they just have good legal sense). They shouldn't do anything that would jeopardize their ability to pursue legal action against the hijacker.


It's public via whois.

Doesn't have a person's name though.


Well, this conversation: https://twitter.com/koush/status/268836995890028544 has a guy called Ahmet Deveci who seems to be going at it with Koush about giving back DNS domains.

His profile on twitter says "Entrepreneur, with a passion for website design, development and all things technology. Director of Metserve Enterprises. London, UK · http://www.mradeveci.com

That seems like the guy.


Let's try and be certain before we start hurling abuse eh mobs?


That was available through www.metserve.com but the site is offline now. I assume it's related.

Anyway he is having a conversation with the CM team over Twitter.


Conversation... More like public poo flinging. I mean seriously? Use email or something, it's really unprofessional to "talk" these things out over twitter


I think at this point they're just trying to get him to talk anything they can add as evidence on the impending lawsuit about fraud.
