==Monte Cahn, Oversee, and Moniker==
In 2008, Moniker was purchased by [[Oversee.net]] for $35 million USD. It had previously been acquired by [[Seevast]] in 2005.<ref>[http://www.seevast.com/news.html Seevast.com]</ref> Part of the acquisition of Moniker by Oversee stipulated that its Founder and CEO, [[Monte Cahn]], come along as the President of Moniker for 3 years. During this time he also filled other roles within the company, such as President of [[SnapNames]].<ref>[http://www.blueglass.com/speakers/monte-cahn/ BlueGlass.com]</ref> He left in December, 2010; in May, 20111 he filed a lawsuit against his former employer.<ref>[http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/lowdown/2011/dailyposts/20110505.htm DNJournal.com]</ref> He filed suit against Oversee, and named its CEO, [[Jeff Kupietzky]], and its founder, [[Lawrence Ng]]; the suit was over alleged non-payment of a $13 million USD incentive plan.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2011/05/04/monte-cahn-sues-oversee-net-over-13-million-incentive-plan/ DomainNameWire.com]</ref>
In September, 2011, Mr. Cahn updated his claims of breach of contract and fraud after a judge tossed out his original claim. The new claim now contains specific language on how Oversee.net allegedly affected Moniker's revenue. He now states that the original acquisition was in violation of an agreement between [[Google]] and Oversee, and that Oversee improperly deflated Moniker's revenue and performance numbers.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2011/09/08/monte-cahn-updates-lawsuit-against-oversee-net-with-new-details/ Monte Cahn Updates Lawsuit, DomainNameWire.com]</ref>
