Who is Nic?

Let's break that chat transcript down a bit. It's long and you can get a little lost in all the typos and bad grammar. There are things that we ought to look at, though.

First and foremost: The possible involvement of Susan Boyle's PR rep in the auction of susan-boyle.com.

Read this passage again:

judy says:
nic emailed dani and i this morning asking for info and link to auction
Carlos says:
Susan will buy it
Carlos says:
LOL
Hils says:
interesting
Hils says:
Nic might buy it

Who is Nic?” I hear you thinking. Nic is Nicola Phillips, Susan Boyle's PR rep. For some strange reason, Nic befriended a lot of the people who run susan-boyle.com. According to this chat and other info floating around, Nic was very involved with the entire auction process. She communicated with the moderators of the site before and during the auction. And, as we can see from the transcript, they believed that she might buy the website if it looked like their bid would fail.

It seems irregular, to say the least.
