Wow, this thread is pretty interesting, in which you can see the owner of the .com domain convincing someone to donate $500 a month to what they thought was the cyanogenmod team: https://store.n2acards.com/helpdesk/viewticket/moderator/cod...

And in the thread, he mentions that Swappa is doing the same thing, $500 a month plus $10 per device sold, though there's no way to verify if that's true. Swappa claims to donate $5 per device sold to Cyanogenmod, though who knows if that's been going to the actual project or this joker. http://swappa.com/cyanogenmod

That's some pretty serious fraud there, if this is true.



It seems that previous owner of the .com domain has handed it back to Cyanogenmod already (probably due to the unwanted publicity):

They will stay with the .org domain though, and have the previous .com domain redirect to it.
