"In Mr. Inowlocki's case, his registrar says it hasn't had any luck
recovering the domain from the registrar that yyy.com was transferred to --
Key-Systems GmbH in Germany. Key-Systems CEO Alexander Siffrin says that is
because Mr. Inowlocki's registrar, TierraNet Inc. unit DomainDiscover,
hasn't yet made a formal complaint or gotten a court order."



Any recommendations here?

Yyy.com had a fraudulent change occur on the Admin Contact email while
yyy.com was at DomainDiscover. Domain immediately transferred out to
Key-Systems.

Since the Auth followed all the standard procedures, the TDRP is not a valid
form of complaint. 

Most registrars seem to have adopted a policy that in this case would have
seen the return of yyy.com to DomainDiscover, but only after DomainDiscover
issued a Letter of Indemnification to Key.

However, in this case, it appears Key is stating that they will not reverse
the transfer unless a court order or UDRP ruling is presented.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thx
