This person claims to be the owner of blockchain.com:

http://www.facebook.com/fannnnnnnnneww

I contacted them,  agreed on a price in Bitcoins,  but they:

1. Insisted that I pay the bitcoins first.
2. Refused to use an escrow service.
3. Refused to provide any proof that they actually own the domain.

They also said many strange things during the Skype chat in regards to the domain.

Does anyone know if this person is the real owner or if they can be trusted? 

I've been put in contact with someone who claims to be the owner of blockchain.com


We agreed on a price, but so far they have:

refused to prove ownership of the domain.
refused to transfer the domain first.
refused to use an escrow service.
refused to provide any trade references.


I don't know if this person is a scammer or not, so this bounty is still available to anyone who puts me in contact with someone who can be confirmed to be the owner of the domain.

Update,

I will pay $500 for simply putting me in contact with the owner of Blockchain.COM
I will pay this even if the owner doesn't actually sell me the domain.

I will pay $1,000 USD worth of Bitcoins for the domain blockchain.com (not .info)

The domain registration is private and the owner of the contact email doesn't reply.

If you are the owner,  or can contact the owner please PM me.

-----------------Sept-7-2012 Update-------------------------

I will pay $500 USD worth of bitcoin for a simple, verifiable, introduction to the owner of blockchain.com even if he doesn't sell me the domain name.
