In mid-February, I noticed that Marksmen, a brand protection and intellectual property acquisition company, had acquired the Poosh.com domain name. A couple of weeks later on March 2nd, Poosh.com transferred to a third party. I noticed these two Whois changes  when the domain name showed up in two of my DomainTools morning alert emails.

I did not really think much about Poosh.com until I saw a new brand called Poosh was mentioned in the news. I was reading an article in the New York Post this morning, and it looks like Marksmen acquired the Poosh.com domain name on behalf of Kourtney Kardashian. Here’s an excerpt about Poosh from the NY Post article:

Although I am still in a bearish mood right now, I am still buying domain names. I regularly participate in domain name auctions and I send inquiries and offers daily. The majority of the acquisitions I am making right now are two and three word .com domain names (I only invest in .com domain names), and they are mostly in the 3 figure range.

If you visit the Lebron.com domain name right now, you can see that it forwards to LebronJames.com, the website for NBA superstar Lebron James. Lebron.com is currently registered under privacy at GoDaddy, so it is unclear if Mr. James acquired the domain name, but it appears that someone associated with James may now control it. This was reported this morning in a tweet from Daryl Lopes:

In early January, Joshua Schoen also reported that the domain name was forwarding to Lebron James’ website:
