Sex.com thief released from prison -- and his Mexican lawyer shot the next
day.

In yet another twist in the extraordinary tale of Sex.com, the con-man who
stole the world’s most valuable domain has been released from jail - in
order to locate the millions of dollars he owes the original owner.

Stephen Michael Cohen has been ordered to hand Gary Kremen $65 million by a
US court but despite years of intense fighting has yet to hand over one
cent. On Tuesday morning, after 14 months in jail for civil contempt, Cohen
was released by Judge James Ware because Kremen’s lawyers had been unable
to chase down his offshore bank accounts.

Cohen claims he is only able to get the details of his various accounts -
held in Lithuania, Liechtenstein and the Isle of Man - in person and
outside jail, and is due back in court in San Jose on 26 February to tell
the judge how that search has gone.
