The current CEO of Identity Digital (formerly Donuts Inc) named Akram Atallah, used to be the president of ICANN, the folx that “own” and “run” the internet. Under his leadership, ICANN introduced the new generic Top Level Domain program, or new gTLD, giving the creation of a new domain ending (.shop, .brand, .gmbh) a price tag of 200k USD. Interestingly enough, the one business that jumped on this newly and artificially created market of top level domains, was Donuts Inc., whom Akram Atallah then became CEO of. Today, they own ~15% of all top level domains, as they created hundreds of shell companies to bypass the “one TLD per business” rule. I have a list of all shell companies, public records proving they all tie back to him and Donuts Inc., and he's proudly bragging about having done this on LinkedIn so it's not really a conspiracy but known corruption.
