(December 11, 2008)--George W. Bush's presidential library domain name came at a high price.

North Carolina-based Illuminati Karate paid less than $10 for www.GeorgeWBushLibrary.com and then sold it back earlier this year for $35,000 to the library's contracted Web developers, Yuma Solutions.

Records indicate that in March 2007, the George W. Bush Library Foundation, using Yuma Solutions as its contractor, bought the domain name from a private citizen for $3,000, but the registration was set to expire within a few months.

The Dallas Morning News reported that when it did, Illuminati Karate bought the name.

The George W. Bush Presidential Center, which will include a library, museum and public policy institute, is being built at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
