Public Evidence Excerpt
iThis guy bought Google.com for 5 seconds. It was the middle of the night. He was playing around with the Google Domains interface as a test. He put in Google.com. He saw it was available for $12 a year. He clicked add to cart. He says the domain actually got added to my cart. Look at that check Mark. Proceed to checkout. So what did he do?

We see that he bought Google.com for 12 bucks over here. Here's another confirmation his Google Google Search Console was auto updated with webmaster related messages or the Google.com domain, which means ownership was transferred to me. I started receiving notifications for when ownership changed in the Google Search Console for websites that are powered by Google Sites. Secret Google Sites

purchase got completed, the card was charged, which would not have happened unless I actually successfully completed checkout. Here is the refund for Google Com, which he once owned for just a small, the midget of a. Of a minute. Then he searched again and it was unavailable. So did this go unnoticed by Google? No, actually, he says Google Security has now contacted me, has offered me a reward in a very googly way. But he doesn't say what the reward is. He keeps it private. Then Google actually is the one to rev...
