Yes he fucked up. He let it expire and he should have either had auto-renewal or put it on his calender. However, GoDaddy is not a good registrar. Read the stories: http://nodaddy.com/

Not allowing outgoing transfers for 60 days upon modifying whois records is stretching; if not breaking, ICANN rules.

Then read this as examples of their administrative fees:

Dear Markus ******,

In accordance with our registration agreement, https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/legal...dy&isc=gdbb135, we have charged your credit card in the amount of $9.95 for our processing of this inquiry.

If you have any questions concerning the above, please contact our customer service center.

We present to you the following solution to resolve this issue:

First, reply to [email protected] with a statement that you (or your employees, affiliates, 3rd party marketers, etc.) will no longer send messages to individuals that did not ask to receive information specifically from your domain name.

Second, include in this statement authorization for GoDaddy.com to charge a $199 non-refundable administration fee to the credit card on file for your account (you may want to log into your Go Daddy account and confirm that the card on file is valid and has not expired).

Go Daddy believes this solution to be a fair one that will ensure that you will correct the problem on your end, and prevent any future violations of Go Daddy's Anti-Spam policy. Additionally your services are not interrupted and your customers and affiliates are not inconvenienced. If you reply with this statement and agree to pay this fee, Go Daddy will accept this, in good faith, as proof of your commitment to correct this problem. If not, your domain name may be immediately redirected and your service suspended."
If you're going to use them that's fine but be warned that you are dealing with snakes.
