Sex.com thief finally arrested

The con-man who used a forged letter to illegally take control of the sex.com domain name in 1995 has finally been caught in Mexico. Stephen Michael Cohen lost a long legal battle in 2001 with the domain's original owner, Gary Kremen, who was eventually able to regain control of the domain, and now runs it as a PPC search engine and pornography portal there.
The sordid tale of how the domain was stolen and recovered was told in a Channel 5 documentary earlier this year, called The Sex.com Story.
