BelgiumDomains lawsuit = locked domains?

[pjK]

I have been watching a name registered on BelgiumDomains which was due to be dropped 11/25. It has been on hold since then with no response from the whois server. The last domain update was on 12/31 but nothing happened. On http://belgiumdomains.com/ it says something about a lawsuit in which the domains are locked? has anyone encountered this before? Normally I would just wait it out, but I believe something else is afoot

I think they were sued for typo-squatting of famous marks.

i would think so, but the whois server is not responding.. seems like the company closed shop
