A quasi-promotional article in the Washington Post covers the domain Ebola.com, and refers to its owner, Jon Schultz as a “merchant of disease.”
It’s not just that Schultz is seeking six figures for Ebola.com, a conservative amount by all means.
According to the article, Jon Schultz’s other domains include BirdFlu.com (acquired for $20,000), H1N1.com and a couple of other exotic disease domains.
For the first time, the acquisition price of Ebola.com is disclosed: a mere $13,500 in 2008; the current asking price is $150,000.
The comments in the article appear to be rather unsavory for such domain investments as well.
