funny story about curry who bought Google's domain name (.com) from under them...

this was from 2016...i think of it randomly every so often...fukin crazy. Legally, god only knows how much he could have extracted even though they had corporate rights.


The buyer was a former Googler, Sanmay Ved, who discovered Google.com on the list of domains available for sale on September 29. He bought it, charging the $12 fee to his Discover card, never really expecting the transaction to go through.

"I was hoping I would get an error at sometime saying transaction did not go through, but I was able to complete purchase, and my credit card was actually charged!" he wrote in a post on LinkedIn last fall.
