Looking through the history looks a bit suspicious. Even if the questionable bids were removed, it’s still likely to be 100k+ for the username!

Edit: Closer to $15k right now lol.

Could be the guy that has been the early adopter of everything, but was not fast enough for ProtonMail. CompuServe, AOL, Xanga—first to ‘x’. Now that he has made his $100,000,350, he can finally afford to get x@pm.me. Or it’s fake. It’s probably fake, but I choose to believe.
