- The full article at the register explains it all.
Basically he faked VeriSign into thinking he was someone else, and took the domain over from them.

- I hate people like this...absolutely no scruples. Cohen's just stalling for time, hoping Kremen will just give up so he can live scot-free. And shame on the justice system for turning a simple case of theft into a three-ring circus.
Stephen Michael Cohen, filed the appeal on Wednesday after both a San Francisco court in 2001 and the US Court of Appeals last year rejected his arguments. In the latter case, the three judges dismissed all grounds because Cohen had fled the country (with his ill-gotten gains secreted in various offshore accounts) and was a fugitive from justice in Mexico.
The Supreme Court appeal has a snowball's chance in hell of even being considered by the Supreme Court but then Mr Cohen's previous legal fillings have been as unconventional in their logic as they have been creative with the facts. It is clear that Mr Cohen sees the lengthy delay in final judgement as a victory in itself, something that led the Appeal Court judges to view his purchase of significant amounts of American justice as an "egregious abuse of the litigation process".
