I’ve searched the net to find the example, but I remember this happening during the dot com era too…

Some unknown tiny company made an offer to takeover Yahoo (or some similar company)… the tiny company made headlines for a moment then disappeared again.

It was an example of dot com silliness.

Can’t for the life of me remember, and Google can’t seem to either.

Similar to when koenigsegg attempted to purchase saab, it can be a great way to get publicity.
