*32 Year old niche internet empire for sale. And no way to understand what the empire is, or how niche it really is, since there are no real details on the page.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like a domain squatting service.

This just sounds really sketchy overall. Unfortunately flagging it.

this is dumb. HN is a relatively sophisticated crowd, and anyone from here with 2m cash, isn't going to be fooled.

I see no reason to flag.

An unsophisticated scam is still a scam.

we don't know its a scam (or joke?), and its not like HN needs to be cautious on this because of who comes here.

Don't need to. If someone falls for this, they are not true hackers.

Asking price is basically yearly profit?
