Just an update about how I'm indirectly involved in the stolen domain events taking place now it seems. In that, someone stole a domain name I was in the middle of purchasing. Turns out its the same person that was stealing other domains. The seller wasn't aware that he no longer controlled the domain name and that it was with another registrar.
Dotregister says they can't do anything about it. The previous registrar has to investigate it. Meanwhile, they continue to let their client to keep stealing. They know the information he gives them incorrect, not just with WHOIS but also the information they have on their own customer. They've verified this too.
Current legislation could possibly implicate Dotregistrar under RICO just for benefitting from the crime and not taking action.
So anyway, for those who were interested.. its definitely going down. Wonder how long until the media picks up on it.
