You are suggesting that Google and Bing don't account for domain ownership changes in their "link juice" algorithm. I find this to be a totally implausible claim. The high-ranking domains all have enough data in their WHOIS to detect an ownership change. Even without that you can detect a missed renewal date and pause the emission of link juice to new links appearing on that domain.
