If he had spent some time to throw content of his choosing on there, he would have likely kept it.

How does the $10,000 he spent for the domain work? I assume he just eats it. That doesn't feel right.

It’s a $10k fine for acting in bad faith.

Wait it’s illegal to squat on domains? Isn’t this what 90% of domains are currently owned for? How do I get a squatted domain as a startup?

You find this legal decision and read it!

It's considered bad faith to sell a domain that you purchased? He didn't even offer it to Lamborghini, just for general sale.

Lambo's Deli in Toronto just got screwed.

This is one recurring thing with the domain squatters - they just sit on the domains and don't bother to do anything that legitimizes them.

I guess this is something LLMs can help with, though. Shouldn't be hard to vibe code something that looks "legit" and drive traffic to the site.

The website https://nissan.com shows how to avoid this outcome.

Does Lamborghini have a trademark claim on the word "Lambo" or it just on 'similarity' grounds?

$75M seems like a pipe dream. Lamborghini could get a vanity TLD (.lambo) for around $2M all in. Much cooler than a .com, IMHO
