Very unfortunate that Namecheap isn’t cooperating. Not really sure what the hold up is, some say it’s related to the Namecheap vs. Tucows lawsuit [0], but realistically it wouldn’t make much sense to do something like this out of spite. I wonder if they’re worried about potential legal obligations of turning over such a “controversial” domain?

- viraptor 5y agoThe alternative is that they keep serving that controversial domain instead, which likely isn't a good position either.
- ryanlol 5y agoIt can be slow and difficult to authenticate a court order. Returning the domain to it’s previous criminal operators might not be the best idea either. Other very similar sites have faced issues with the DOJ.
