I've got a theory on some of these domain names that go up for sale on ebay with outlandish list prices...
It could be a method of communication for terrorists, and potentially a way to hide money transfers between terrorist groups in different countries. Before you say I'm crazy, keep track of the domain names that are being 'sold' this way, & look up the registration whois info.
The domain names being "sold" could easily be some code name for potential targets or locations. If one sells, it could be a disguise to justify a large money transfer that would otherwise be scruitinized by the feds. If you think about it, buying and selling domain names is an ideal way to launder money, don't you think???
Hey, maybe we can use this to sell more domains! Anyone know any mob bosses with assets they need to launder???
