JV.net - The mysterious domain

[yes ofcourse]

For about a minute, I was the luckiest person alive. I was doing some whois researches and it seemed JV.net is free to register, went fast to registrar, where I realized it was just an illusion.

Then I found this:

http://www.thedomains.com/2015/05/0...ailable-to-register-but-is-actually-reserved/

Does anyone know what is going with JV.net?

I checked 4 registrars and its not showing as "available" at any of them

 

[yes ofcourse]

Yes, because it is not, however some whois show it is free to reg.

JV.net expired at the end of 2012, and was deleted at the beginning of 2013.

Once deleted, Verisign blocks the registration of 2 letter COM/NET domains. They look available at many registrars, but they are not allowed under Versign's registration policies unless they are grandfathered.
