In 2021, the Candy.com domain name was sold for an undisclosed sum in a deal brokered by Andrew Miller of Hilco Digital and Amanda Waltz, then of Saw.com. At that time, the domain name was acquired by a company that specializes in the sale of digital collectibles. It had previously been sold to a candy company by Rick Schwartz, and that company used it to catapult its business, as noted in DNJournal.

Last week, the company operating on Candy.com announced it would be migrating its business to the Candy.io domain name:

I heard the Anime.com domain name had been recently acquired, but I knew nothing about it. Anime is a a style of Japanese animation, and it is popular throughout the world. Obviously, Anime.com would be a fantastic brand for creators and people who enjoy watching this genre of animation.

I came across a video interview conducted by Leon Abboud featuring Alex Xu, the founder of the company that acquired Anime.com. The interview is a bit longer than 40 minutes, and it touches on the acquisition of the Anime.com domain name. Not surprisingly, the domain name had a $10 million price tag, and it was listed for sale via GoDaddy.

When I was 18, I went on a Royal Caribbean cruise with my family. It was the first time I was able to gamble in a casino. One night during dinner, I left the table to play video poker in the casino. I returned about 30 minutes later hunched over from carrying buckets full of quarters.

The video poker game had a double up feature. When I won a hand, the game gave me the option to double my winnings by choosing a card that was higher than the dealer’s. I could continue to choose to double down until I cashed out or lost. I won a big hand and successfully doubled a bunch of times until I cashed out with buckets full of quarters. Even though the win wasn’t technically a jackpot, the casino gave me a “jackpot” t-shirt because it was a substantial win.
