he made out like a bandit.
LOL. i miss the bubble.

yup GOTO got either 25 or 35 million from Disney.
re: Goto.com name, i believe they got sued for trademark or something else and had to change their name.
yeah i miss the bubble a little, i made a lot of money from Goto.com
selling traffic to them, them giving me IPO shares, me cheating the system and getting 5 times as many shares as i was allowed. that was fun
than last few years trading overture and than getting yahoo shares.
but whatever i made, i lost out a lot more by losing our GOTO contract after only a year
