2025 - Dot Com Discount Registration

I just saw a case has been filed against the owner of VegasFinance.org by Natixis Wealth Management / Xavier Girot under WIPO Case D2020-1521, I did a quick check and can that the domain name was registered on the 28th of January 2020 at Epik and is under privacy, on the same day VegasFinance.net was also registered at Epik, assuming both may have been registered by the same owner, So doing my detective work, I checked out who owns VegasFinance.com and it’s currently parked at Afternic and under GoDaddy Privacy – So no luck there…

If we look into Natixis Wealth Management, they are a merged business that was created in 2006 when IXIS and Natexis Banques Populaires merged, but why do they want to own VegasFinance.org?

They do have an interest in Las Vegas, I can see they provided finance in 2016 for $35.0 million floating-rate loans on Sahara Center for EHB Companies, a Las Vegas-based developer, for the refinance and lease-up of a 209,928 square foot grocery-anchored power centre with a strong roster of national tenants including Sprouts Farmers Market, T.J. Maxx, HomeGoods, Petco, Stein Mart and others but surely that isn’t a reason to want to own VegasFinance.org?

I can see from NameBio that the Dot Com – VegasFinance.com was sold on GoDaddy for $204 USD back on the 28th of December 2019 and then the following month this year the .Net & .Org were both registered at Epik.

Do you think Natixis Wealth Management / Xavier Girot shall be raising WIPO Cases on the .Net, were they the buyers of VegasFinance.com back in December but if they were the domain is still showing for sale at Afternic, is it at risk of WIPO too?
