Israel Strikes Deal With Porn Site Owner for Twitter Account
 

Melendez, who owns the pornography site Greenshines.com, sold the account to the Israel Foreign Ministry in August, though he declined to say how much the country paid. Some online reports said Melendez was paid up to six figures for the account, but Paul Hirschson, the Deputy Chief of Mission at Israel's Miami Consulate, said it was in "the very, very low four figures."

when you've got such an account in a service with dozens of millions users - there's no surprise someone will offer you pretty nice cash for the account.
