I post this here because I'm sure some of you know of websites hosted by wellbuiltnetworks, or may be considering using them for hosting.

Basically, Derek Zeanah, the owner of wellbuiltnetworks, had been hosting and fixing technical issues for thehighroad.org. THR was started by and belongs to Oleg Volk, a famous photographer and advocate for 2nd Amendment rights, gay rights, racial equality, and women's rights.

Oleg was offered a sponsorship for the board, which would allow him to devote more time to the board and to his photography and political activism. Derek seized control of the board, having already registered the domain in his own name instead of Oleg's - and being the owner of wellbuiltnetworks, is also in physical control of the servers where the data is stored.

Apparently he has done similar things before to business partners (including a photography business, and when he was sued, he destroyed much of her work instead of returning it to her as he was ordered by the court when he lost).


Part 1 - where Derek Zeanah realizes there is large potential ad revenue from photographer Oleg Volk's forum thehighroad.org and changes the domain registration to his name, and locks out other admins, etc.

Part 2 - where Derek Zeanah holds Oleg's other website hostage as court battle looms.

The links are to Oleg's journal, and contain links to more detailed descriptions of events. Googling will turn up other incidents in Derek's past.
