OK, I'll bite... Who owns OpenTLD BV? (And so on recursively up the ownership chain...)

  If you do a whois on the IP, you'll get an address in Amsterdam. From that same address suddenly a whole list of companies pops up. Euro ventures b.v., carwrap, dreamteam internet project management, transventure, verotel, safety future ... Seems a bit like a spiderweb :D

    Usually indicates that it's a legal address and nothing more. Plenty of companies offer a registered address B2B service that enables a company to use them as their registered address.

      Yeah, I think you are right, sorry about that. Transventure appears to be the company offering co-work spaces. Guess that explains why there are so many companies on that address. The suspension from ICANN for cyber squatting appears to be more worrying though for a company offering DNS services.
