I'm reliably informed that the proprietors are facing prison for money laundering and other nasty things. The court case isn't too far away. :|

I believe that February date was for the connection to the Verona burglary - the money laundering and fraud are the latest items to be mentioned, it seems to have been put back a few months, I will try and get more info.

If you do a lookup on "whois" you will see who the owners of the domain are.
From a quick look myself it appears that the domain name was due for renewal on 24th April.
If your not getting the businesses page its possible the domain ownership has lapsed.

The business seems to be still operating as I regularly receive e-mails detailing ther latest 'offerings'
Just yesterday they had a '62 Fiesta Red Stratocaster listedfor $US 47,000!!!
In 1967 I sold my '62 Fiesta Red STRAT for 30 pounds!
Oh well, as Frankie once sang, 'That's Life'.

I have seen this offer, a member of our French forum posted it there...
Only £42,950 or €49,400, a bargain ! ;)

Hello Jay,
That's the same guys!
I think the prices shown tell it all. Over hyped, ridiculously overpriced instruments.
Cheers,
