Nope
i use abacusamerica
i think he has got into the global registry, or he hacked my computer and was seeing what i saw, because as soon as i found a good name that was available i registered it and then a day later i was informed he registered it just before me
twice in 2 days this happened
these domains once existed and were archived on archive.org but were on the market for 2 years, then as soon as i try to get them, he grabbed them
he is getting info from somewhere, and since others have implicated him, it is unlikely he has hacked into everyones computer, unless he is just targeting webmasters because they buy lots of domains
the interesting thing is that the names i tried to grab had above average value according to this appraisal tool i’m using, i registered other names without problem that had never existed before, but these names he grabbed had a past, so that might be a factor, i can check that if someone tells me the name they tried to register or they can check it themselves at archive.org
might be a connection there, like an auto reregister that goes into effect anytime someone tries to grab a name from the past
