Hi Mr. Erect
Exactly, this is what I was thinking. However, he does not have the cool system in place like you mention, but he was with a really off-name (or I never heard of) registrar - I forget the name. That's why I wanted to ask in this thread, because to me, it doesn't make sense. At our meeting, we had him on speaker phone, and we were all actually dumbfounded. The domain in question was not a premium or remotely close to a high level attack domain, so it begs the question - was it a revenge from a friend or enemy? No. It is a known company that happened to be the only company where all information had to be given over. All the way down to the phone number for contact. And some of you may know of a few companies that already do this. It is well known that this seems to be the new norm..
But in fact, he is not lying. And this really did happen. That's why I'm wondering what everyone else's thoughts/experiences have been with the actuality/possibility of this even occurring.
