The site does appear to have been sold, beginning of March, and the new owner tries to sell shares using cryptostocks.com.
Doesn’t make it any less fishy though.
The site has been registered on cryptostocks.com on February 17 and has apparently been selling shares since then. At that time the owner of the domain was still Shane Buckley from Ireland.
On March 3 the domain was transferred to a new owner (update on the domain records then)
Oddly enough, during the month of March Shane’s familiair site was still active on the domain, and, as we’ve all witnessed, Shane has tried to promote his scam site through various forums while (ab)using payment providers like coinbase and others for easy coin payment. If anything was bought through the site, those providers must have records of scam sales while the domain was under control of the new owner.
At the end of March Shane’s crappy site layout changed to the current new one, aimed at the cryptostock shares.
So… Either the new owner is still Shane but using false credentials, or the new owner figured he could continue Shane’s scam in the same manner before changing to the new site layout, or the new owner simply allowed Shane scams under the same domain. That last bit could mean the new owner is either an (unaware?!) accomplice, or he’s a new victim of Shane and potentially a very good party for joining any legal action since he has quite a bit to defend (and explain) if he’s innocent.
@Kevlar: I have _finally _send you that small donation I promised a while ago for all your efforts with this Shane crap. My apologies for the delay.
