Well..sure. But it's for sale...so the MIB don't have it. They didn't take it away from RE. The domain wholesaler types did, someone drops a domain, they scoop it up on the cheap on the bet that someone will want it, or want it back.
I've got a high up IT buddy working for a international telecom, he once consulted for a company that downsized, didn't want to pay renewal fees on a dozen domains, let them lapse, changed their mind when a big contract came in, buddy went back to claim the dozen back, same thing happened. Wanted various $$ amounts, with the ones that had been used the most demanding higher buyback. No need for MIB to explain what is now normal economic activity ruining what was once a good idea (the internet).
Quote from: K-DogYou can always sell something to yourself for lots of money. As much money as you have. When selling to yourself value is irrelevant.
And when normal internet behavior related to buying/selling domains leads to the same result as happened to the Diner, what else you got for random GovCo malevolence?
