article doesn't seem to mention it, but i wonder if the previous owner took some equity or options in the venture.

Author of the article here. No, it was a straight-up cash purchase with no equity involved.

Yeah. (original domain owner here).

I really struggled on this point, but was coached by someone I trust that legal gymnastics were not in anyone's best interest.

What I really want is for experiment.com to become wildly successful, so that I can take part in some science projects.
