I actually wrote about that guy not long ago. His name is Mike O'Connor, and he owns bar.com, grill.com, place.com, and television.com, among others.

Probably his most famous domain was corp.com, which was recently bought by Microsoft because it turns out that older versions of Windows and other Microsoft products actually invited people to use corp.com for their internal Active Directory names. Problem is, when those machines are outside the internal network, they're constantly trying to share passwords and other sensitive data with corp.com.
