That whois then turned private as of this month, wonder why?
So if you are following me the admin email for emerge is under new ownership thus giving its owner access to Emerge.com!
I will be researching further because it could be an inside job or a flat out use of an old email to access the domain (classic stuff).
Alternatively we are all blind and the name Emerge.com dropped for $500 LOL
