Who owns Mego.com

[Saroyan]

Just for poops and giggles, I tried www.mego.com and got a page saying :

MEGO

The new era coming soon.

Anyone have any ideas on who owns the domain?

I think it might be a domainsquatter. I looked it up on GoDaddy and the address is a residential home in LA:

With it spelled mEgo, Inc., I think it is probably for something not actually Mego related... just a guess though.

Company in LA that makes avatars. For what reason? Because you all need a mEgo Avatar.

Sounds like it went belly up and they are trying to re-invent themselves with the name while squatting on the domain.

I wonder if they know the history of the name.

Their Facebook page claims millions of followers or subscribers or something- must have been trying to speak their success into existence.
