I've been watching a name with a bad whois which I reported to Internic.
It was a Dotster name.
Dotster changed the NS after about a month of the report
Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.BADWHOISSHUTDOWN.COM
NS2.BADWHOISSHUTDOWN.COM
But they kept the whois record intact.
Then, recently, the laundering began...
They silently changed the registrant name to a "Judy Whisenant", and then changed the admin email to someone at galpub.com
However the strangest thing is this, they kept the address of the former registrant intact, which instantly makes this another bad whois, and violates whois policy again.
Whois errors should evoke a deletion, but it is clear it just triggers the registrar to launder the name for insiders. What is scary, is that you can't trust the integrity of registrars in the domain game. It's each man for himself.
