The biggest Internet news in Japan during the new years holidays: The rights to the country's largest Bulletin board site "2ch" have been sold to a company in Singapore that bares a name strikingly similar to a kid's videogame.

Of course nobody expects it to be a legitimate sale given the dodgy history of the BBS site and its founder. More likely an action to avoid lawsuits and taxes.

A quick check of the new administrator's name shows that it's the founder of "Rikvin Singapore Company Incorporation", a consultant group that helps overseas companies set up their businesses in Singapore.
