seller is happy, value of his remaining domains get inflated... buyer is happy, cause everyone thinks xxxvideos.com is worth 1.368M, so if he later needs to sell it for $800k, everyone will think they are getting a bargain... and everyone else in the industry is happy too, as it makes it appear like domains are a great investment...
In theory yes but not a domain here that would be doubted based on the domain and who the seller is. There's a group of guys that when you find their domains you know not to offer anything less than xx,xxx and Rick would be one of those guys. Also with https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2016...-requirements/
Escrow services are moving to ID's, address verification etc... so gaming a system on wires going back and forth not likely. Easy to move $1000 back and forth but moving anything above 10k gets eyeballs on it. Personally I've sold $8 .Com domains for 1-10k and a few well above 10k into 6 figure range for the last 13+ years so don't doubt better quality domains reach even higher.
