As I said: do you know how serious the offers are? Do you know why exactly weidai.com may be worth $100k?

I'm not sure what someone who wants to buy a domain name named after its current owner is thinking of doing with it, but I think there's a non-negligible chance it'd turn out to be something the namesake of the domain name wouldn't like at all.

'Wei Dai' is not that rare a name; there could easily be some Chinese businessmen or something who want the name for branding purposes.
