Charney got his start in high school, importing Hanes and Fruit of the Loom T-shirts over the border to his friends in Canada^[21] He is said to have shipped as many as 10,000 shirts at a time, using a rented U-Haul truck to transport the goods^[22]

In 1987, he enrolled at Tufts University. While at Tufts he continued to operate his business but by 1990, dropped out to pursue it full time.^[23] He is currently listed as a graduate although in actuality, he'd moved to South Carolina to transition from importing t-shirts to manufacturing them.^[24] In 1996, Charney's company could not cover its debt and he was forced to file for Chapter 11 and personal bankruptcy.^[25][26] Two years later, he'd migrated to California to try the t-shirt business again.^[25] By 2003, Charney had opened his first retail store and employed over 1,300 people.^[27]

Cybersquatters sometimes register variants of popular trademarked names, a practice known as typosquatting.

Another strategy is as follows: Internet domain name registrations are for a fixed period of time. If the owner of a domain name doesn't re-register the name with an internet registrar prior to expiry, then the domain name can be purchased by anybody else after it expires.^[1] At this point the registration is considered lapsed. A cybersquatter may use automated software tools to register the lapsed name the instant it is lapsed. This strategy is one of a family of identity theft schemes including renewal snatching, extension exaggeration and alert angling.
