Take a look at this website.

I was "surfing the net"  and happened upon this: Verisign Hater (http://xn--veriign-mog.com)

This person is very hacked off at Verisign.  Either this person from Luxemburg got cut out of a deal or got scammed by a spoof IDN.  The registrar for the site is Gandi.net (http://www.gandi.net)  It looks a little shady in and of itself.

Take a look  :o and let me know what you make of it.

Well the domain in use is outside ICANNs guidelines. The info seems to be a little out of date as the new resolution from ICANN on what can be registered is already in the process of enactment. I think it is unlikely that the domain in use here could be registered now and it will almost certainly be deleted. Not quite sure how the process works, but I guess these will fail to renew at some point.
