Just a couple of things:
1. Namecheap are the top domain registrar for botnet C&C servers, and have been for years [1]. At one point they were over 65% of all botnet domains. They didn't get and hold that position by being responsive to complaints.
2. The US Justice Department had to sue Namecheap in March over a scam outfit called coronavirusmedicalkit.com [2]. Namecheap happily supplied service to this blatantly criminal fraud.
3. Namecheap have a reputation for ignoring complaints about spammers on their site. [3][4] In my own case, when I reported drug-dealing spammers to them they gave my email address to the spammers in a bid to intimidate me into silence.
As for your apparent interpretation of my remarks as saying that everyone hosting with Namecheap must be a criminal, that is so ludicrous a leap as to merit no further attention.
