Why should Jimmy lie here?

Post by Graaf Statler » Sun Jun 10, 2018 9:35 am

Why should Jimmy lie here, Poetlister? Because I think it is a right claim. If there is one person on this earth I should like to talk with is it Jimmy, because if he really is the crook some are claiming he was one of the richest persons in this world. Because I am sure there are other people who made a lot more money with the wikipedia concept than he did.

And Here is the complete interview.

The only people who made more money than Wales off Wikipedia were Google, through their search engine algorithm.

Daniel Brandt could possibly fill in the details.

Because those details are probably gory.

Evil Dead gory.
Still "Globally Banned" on Wikipedia for the high crime of journalism.

I don't know Strelnikov. Durk Jan de Bruin sold his Startpagina (what he never should sell) for 30 million guilder, and that was a lot of money in that time. And Startpagina was a lot less worth than Wikipedia. If Jimmy had closed his nose and ears and just had sold wikipedia years ago he had made a fortune! A tremendous fortune. Hundreds of millions.
