On this day, 76 years ago, legendary gangsters Bonnie and Clyde died in Missouri – from a tsunami of police bullets.
It was the Prohibition era, made famous to later generations via Hollywood movies of the 1940’s with James Cagney as one of the most memorable actors.
It was a time when gangsters robbed the banks, while today the banks rob America.
Thank you, Goldman Sachs.
So where is BonnieAndClyde.com today? In the hands of BuyDomains. How much money does BuyDomains want for it?
$26,320
Ouch! That’s roughly $500 per bullet that the legendary couple received during their final standoff with the police. Not sure who will be paying BuyDomains that much money but one never knows.
Here is the status of other famous gangsters’ names in .com:
- Al Capone – A cigar company!
- John Dillinger – A web site dedicated to the famous gangster
- Pretty Boy Floyd – Parked domain
- Lucky Luciano – Parked domain
- Bugsy Siegel – Irrelevant content
- Lucius “Guns” Fabrice – Still runs DomainGang
Buydomains must be out of there mind. $26k sounds crazy
