I just posted this in another registerfly thread but meant to post it in my thread, haha oops:

ok so I read ICANN's statement on this from today, on this page: http://www.registerflies.com/icann-o...act-sheet.html

ICANN actually sent employees to the registerfly office to get customer data and were refused entry and denied.

In the past, when a registrar lost their accreditation (because it has happened before), the registrar just sold off their client base and everyone was notified after the fact. But registerfly are being assholes.

Also registerfly just went through an ownership dispute in court which obviously prevented them from just selling their biz while this was going on, it was just settled early this March. However, it seems that Kevin Medina is the guy who was awarded the company and he is a notorious crook, right now stealing everyone's money and not handing over customer information. Why this guy still has a merchant account is beyond me.

So that is it, they have not handed over our information yet it seems. I can't understand why they would just hold onto this, its in their best interest to sell off what they can at this point but seems like some scammers running the place so who knows.

The bottom line is if registerfly doesn't hand over customer info its going to create more of a huge mess.

If you have domains still at registerfly and do not transfer them out by March 31, make SURE you get screen shots from registerfly, make sure your whois is correct, because if ICANN doesn't get this info I suppose people will have to prove ownership to get their sites back.

I hope it works out in the customer favor this week. Icann seems more worried about amending their agreements than saving people from more losses.
