Of course, it occurs to me that Homero's reply is actually referring to the claim in the OP saying there would be a "Seized by . . ." page in place as a result of being under investigation by the SEC and DoJ.
So, hey, he's telling the truth this time! Trouble is, he is doing so only by wording it in such a way as his flock think he's talking about the CCN article contents.
Paybase.com is owned by a guy named Walter Long... if they consider him a by-stander or he's assisting the investigation, there's no reason to take the domain name anyway. They're investigating Josh Garza and GAW Miners, LLC... so paybase.com is really a side-issue. You're more likely to see ZenMiner.com (owned by Chris Levato of Utah) go down, since that's where the majority of the activity happened. But, even then... allowing people to buy a fake product and making fake payouts with fake money isn't exactly like enabling drug sales where REAL drugs are transferred between REAL people (often in different countries). Since both sites are kind of off line now anyway (so paybase can't work to 'fix' the markets)... there's no reason to do anything but take ghosted copies of the servers for evidence and analysis.
But, speaking of winners out of all of this... the owner of BTC.com stands to potentially be a big winner. He's been getting $25k/mo against the domain that's in escrow until paid off. If they quit paying the escrow, that domain will go back to the owner and he'll have gotten a pretty nice rental out of the domain name for how ever long garza had control of it. (of course, that's assuming one of garza's whales don't take over the escrow payments)
