not much of a news story ..

Really, all David needed to do when the domain 'disappeared' was to do a WHOIS on Davidairey.com, see that the hijackers had been dumb enough to park it at Godaddy, and just call GoDaddy directly about the fruadulant transfer .. GoDaddy would have then required a fax to Verisign with documentation proving David is who he says he is, and the domain returned (not to mention the hijackers paying for another years registration in making the transfer to GoDaddy)

His Hosting firm should have known this, at least, and assisted him .. domain could have been recovered in 3 business days maximum.

GoDaddy does good, quick work on fraud cases, they really don't want shady stuff going on using thier services
