CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Deadline reports:

A domain investor has cashed in a big bet, selling the domain name HarrisWalz.com for $15,000. Domain owner Jeremy Greene Eche bought it for around $9 in 2020.

Eche, a New York City trademark lawyer, bought several domains around the time of the 2020 election, he told ABC Audio. He focused on candidates who were likely to run in the future.
So I just looked up every heartland governor and senator I could think of,” he said. “I got a bunch of midwestern politicians.”

Eche also bought addresses that paired Harris’ name with Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman. Eche wasn’t aware of the buyer’s identity, he said. The buyer wanted to remain anonymous, according to Eche. He acknowledged that he’s already sitting on domains looking ahead to future elections.
