I thought this dude was a troll because $300k is literally 15 times higher than the usual offers I get for the username so I just ignored the message. It’s beyond absurd to offer anything more than 20k right out the gate.
I decided to look into the guy’s transaction records today and this dude has spent roughly 3 MILLION dollars on buying Telegram usernames
A large part of the ones in his collection seem to revolve around the Middle East (specifically the UAE) so maybe this really is one of those absurdly rich hoarders

DJ.R-Tistic contradicted their own self.
They open with 'Sometimes it's like this in person, and other times it's this other way"... and then closes with "This isolated anecdote (the party) proves that it's this one way (Cancel culture is just online).
They are disregarding that they have admittedly been to events where playing something unfavorable to the crowd had consequences.
That shows that, no, it's not JUST twitter activity.

I found it very odd too that he wants to purchase it through Telegram's official username auction platform. Telegram is the only platform that doesn't consider username selling a ToS violation and they even have their own auction platform but I've never been asked to actually do a transaction through he 'official' means even though it prevents the possibility of scamming.
Maybe this guy isn't overly familiar with how this usually works. The value of the username is roughly $20k so even for some obscenely rich buyer, making a starting offer of $300k is basically throwing away over $250k.
$50k would've been completely ridiculous as well but I probably would've responded because it's not entirely unheard of for wealthy buyers to make an offer so far outside of its value that no one would refuse it.
Specifically Middle Eastern collectors tend to do this so him owning a lot of UAE and other Middle East related usernames checks out in that department.
I think I've mentioned it before at some point but an old transaction with a wealthy Saudi always stuck with me. The guy said that at his level of wealth, everyone can buy Lamborghinis, Bugattis, exotic animals, ... but only one person can own a specific username.
A lot of 1 character usernames on IG for example are banned at this point because buying usernames is technically a ToS violation, in addition to often being targeted by hackers/SIM-swappers, but at one point the alphabet used to be almost entirely owned by Middle Eastern buyers like this guy.

The fact that he's willing to go through telegram official marketplace makes it safer, legit-er, no?I found it very odd too that he wants to purchase it through Telegram's official username auction platform.
