Default Stolen forum/THR update

This has been mentioned in the other thread but this new info merits a new thread.

As some of you may know, Oleg Volk owns thehighroad.org(THR) but recently without permission and on his own Derek Zeanah transfered the domain name to himself and has locked Oleg out of the server and the forum control panel.
Effectively stealing THR from Oleg.

Oleg has been involved with his lawyer in trying to retrieve THR and a lawsuit has been filed.
Through it all however Oleg has also been locked out of the server for his other site armedpolitesociety.com(APS) since it is one the same server as THR.
Oleg has a clear title to the domain and all intellectual property and has made arrangements to move that forum off of the server Derek controls.

At least that was the plan.
Oleg posted this on APS today, Derek is trying to steal APS as well.

Feel free to publicize this event.

I own armedpolitesociety.com domain name, so I can move the forum. I would prefer to move it with the current content intact. My lawyer will be in contact with his. In the meantime, I would appreciate anyone with the ear of law enforcement would recommend bringing criminal charges against Derek Zeanah on this matter in addition to the already discussed charges connected with THR hijacking.
One of the most useful things the internet can do is spread info and prevent things from happening in the dark.
Share this around and let every gun board know what Derek Zeanah is doing.

Also I hope when Oleg regains control I can get him to remove the perma ban from my account

The weirdest thing happened today while on THR. At around 10:30, THR didn't load fully, and next to the APS link on the top right it look like

APS <--- HACKED BY "so and so"

I refreshed the page and everything was back to normal. Was I the only one to see it? I don't want to ask in THR for fear of getting the boot.

Earlier this week, when discussing the move over on APS, Oleg said:

Quote:
We'll see how it goes, but I have a great deal of faith in goodness and decency of Derek Zeanah.
To which I said:

Isn't that how this all started in the first place?
And now this.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....

What, during a course of action involving lawyers and negotiations, would you have had him say on a public forum? Of course he would be commenting on Derek doing the decent thing and etc...
