April 26, 2008
Fund.com sold for just under $10 million
The actual figure was $9,999,950 ! Quite why they haggled the last $50 is unclear.
Fund.com (Inc.) have publicly confirmed the sale and all details have been checked through right the way back to tax returns and company filings by third parties.
