Todd made a mistake and someone jumped on it, that is how it is in many ventures in this life, the guy has the right to own that domain and charge whatever he wants for it, that doesn't mean Todd has to buy it and frankly I wont be surprised if the price goes down once Todd said no. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> Business is Business and NOT fraud, dirty business yes maybe it is but it is nothing that Trump himself wouldn't have done.

Many Chinese have made a living off of fraud of the Western world. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> Think Melamine in wheat shipped here from China and used in pet food. This is an ingredient that goes into plastic and is highly toxic. There's some thought that they did it on purpose to make their wheat worth more. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> Look at the many MMORPGs where they "farm" the virtual money and sell it for real money, which is against the EUL of most games. It's sad that they can do so and make more than working a traditional job there. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> Chances are, the domain squatter was asking the $5000 because that's what he thought he'd make in the next 6 months to a year off of it. He'll most likely throw a bunch of advertising on it and hope that people click the links. What a sad little man.... This no surprise.
