Someone at Facebook stealing your domain is quite an accusation. Assuming your domain was similar to your username/IG handle, wouldn't it be more likely to be people wanting your "china" domain for spam/malware/propaganda/etc?
Contra the above dude, I don't think it's all that strange for Facebook employees to profit directly off of their access to these systems. See this article about how employees charge for verifications: https://mashable.com/article/instagram-verification-paid-bla...
I wouldn't count a NSA employee as "average", I'd assume they have access to tools the "average" doesn't have. Comparing that to someone at Facebook just doesn't make sense.

I think the stealing of my domain was a bit of social engineering by a hacker (not somebody at FB).
Now, my account gets taken without any noticeable trace on my end. No security emails, no suspicious login attempts, nada...

there is a lot of precedent for Meta employees taking usernames. here's another example:

Not really. It already happened several times since short usernames go for crazy amounts.
NSA employees do it, why would META employees would be better than the average?

I guess he didn't meant the guy from marketing. But mods and customer support people do have admin access over accounts.
Publicly pondering a theory is an accusation now?
It read to me like that, yes.
