The domain bs is a interesting case of scummy practices in general, .tv was missused in a similar way with awful contracts, essentially scamming a already increadably poor country!

Didn't Tuvalu massively benefit from being assigned a TLD that is popular? I read they were able to build an airport with .tv money

They reclaimed many domain rights and are now renting them out for big money, yeah. They were still scammed off by many.
