Just like the topic states someone failed to check this out as the Google's domain name expired for Argentina. Random guy while searching the domain names gets his lucky break and buys the domain for only $5. 540 Argentine Peso to be exact.
The guy actually tweeted about it as well later on,
"I want to clarify that I entered http://nic.ar I saw the name of http://google.com.ar available and I legally bought it accordingly!"
Minutes after this activity, MarcoPress confirmed that Google Argentina successfully recovered its domain and soon restored service to users across the country.
In a Reddit thread about the incident, one user commented, "Whether it was a glitch or truly expired seems to be up for debate here." (source)
