Bodog.com – Gone for Good?
Looks like a patent troll has targeted Bodog and managed to acquire their domain name. Since Bodog is banned from operating in the U.S., they were unable to defend themselves against this seemingly ridiculous lawsuit.
Earlier today the Bodog website (bodog.com) went down. Many people thought it was just technical issues. A good friend inside Bodog pinged me and told me that the site was actually yanked out from under Bodog’s hands earlier today.
Apparently, some guy in the US who was awarded a patent for something to do with taking bets online filed a lawsuit against Bodog awhile back. Bodog didn’t respond because they are not a US company. So a judge awarded a default judgment of 50 million.
Yesterday, the guy with the judgment used it to seize control of Bodog’s domain names from Enom. Almost all of their sites are now offline, and now they are going to loose all of their SERPS.
Props to Shoemoney.com.

[...] are looking bad for Bodog. A U.S. based judge just affirmed a ruling that could end up costing them around $50 million dollars. Given that they are not an American [...]
