Okay,
I looked up Whois information on a LOAD of the stolen domains from the "shibuyajpn" guy and guess what I found..
99% of them have the following information in common:
The user, avis03, is offering to buy bulk LLLL.com domains for $50 apiece (link: click - from yesterday!), the very same tactic used by this scammer. So, it appears that our LLLL.com scammer is a member of the Digital Point forums. There is also a member 'avis03' here on NamePros with a closed account, but take a look at their posts: Click Here -- poor grammar, all lowercase letters, very unprofessional.. Does something ring a bell here?
It appears that one reputable member of the domain community is responsible for all of these scams. Hopefully this can be looked into and somebody with some power here can contact the administrator of Digital Point to open a full investigation.
Also, mods, please check for any logged IPs of the user 'avis03' here. They posted on dates ranging from today back to 2006 so perhaps their real IP (i.e. not a proxy) is listed on an older post.
NOTE: As I was typing this I found a Myspace page registered with the email [email protected]. The link is here and it's stated to be a 'Houston, TX' profile. The name on the profile is none other than 'Avis'.
Case closed?
EDIT: Yup, this HAS to be the guy. Take a look at this:
eBay Listings: eBay user avis03's profile - Hmm, bulk auction listings of LLLL's hosted at Godaddy, huh?
eBay Feedback: click.
Let the lawsuits begin?

Now, guess what? I looked up '[email protected]' on Google and came up with a link to a Digital Point post where a very reputable member was buying "All of Your LLLL.coms for $50 each". This member, avis03, has over 1k posts and a very high iTrader rating. He/she uses the email '[email protected]' in their posts on Digital Point (link: click)-- the same email currently listed as the Administrative Contact on 90+% of the stolen domains.Registrant:
