It says "Order granting default judgement", does that mean that the guy didn't show up or have an attorney present to represent him? That sounds like he didn't try fighting the suit and Pinterest won by default (same thing happens civil suits when the defendant pulls a no-show).

Exactly. From the article: "since the defendant didn’t even respond to the complaint, it’s not exactly clear whether he will pay up."

So not only is this a default judgement, but the $7.2 million will probably never materialize because the defendant is in China. However, I'm guessing that Pinterest will get control over the domains (which, to them, is probably more important) because the registrars are US-based.

Motion to vacate default judgement is a possibility. Cybersquatting? This guy has a gambling site?
