I've been watching a domain name for years (15?) - it is a "funny prop from a niche movie" in the 90s that nobody even remembers and it's length isn't short etc., a name only a real nerd would even know (poilte cough). I've watched this domain pass from squatter to sqatter over the years, it doesn't sell but keeps getting picked up as soon as it expires at the previous squatter. The dotcom domain registry system is completely broken in favour of crony capitalism.

The number of good domain names being squatted on is too damn high. They'll never see a single one of my shiny nickels, much less a dirty old dime.
It's not, directly - it would appear to be a bias the reporter injected; the real story is that this person is/was an active member of the "Filthy Few" MC - "filthy few" being a slogan used by the Hell's Angels and patches given for doing the dirty work (look up Charles PeeWee Goldsmith). The brand of motorcycle has no material bearing on the crime committed - there is enough history of this person's violent and criminal past presented; the mention of the bike brand has no purpose other than to incite moral outrage. Harley sold it's first Police motorcycle in 1908.
