Perhaps you should ask Mike Hunt why he registered the domain under what 
looks like a false name and/or address?

I mean, Mike Hunt. Sure, it's kind of funny, but it's a bit of an old joke.

I also wasn't able to do a reverse lookup on the phone #, and wasn't 
able to correlate the address to a # either.

There is no one with last name Hunt registered at that address in 
Belleville, ON.

I'm about 90% sure it's a totally bogus name. Isn't that grounds for 
domain suspension?

Free speech is not an excuse for not playing by the rules.
