registrar.
But this is not what happened. DN took the law into its hands and
they're doing investigations that they have no right to do.

Sorry, read again more carefully. You didn't pay attention.
Even if they allowed Slick to move his domains (ie, suggested he needed to leave) they have created their complicity in the issue. Directnic is in the position to terminate domains that may be used for distribution of CP. They cannot pass the buck to someone else because Slick is a nice guy or he didn't mean it or isn't sure.
From a liablity standpoint, once Directnic has the compaint in their hands, they either have to act to resolve the issue or become liable for it. I am sure they have been in contact with the FBI, and now they are asking for supporting documents do they can figure out if they ToS and therefore their domain registry contract has been broken. If it has been broken, they terminate the domain.
Leaving the domains unlocked after issuing a request like Directnic did... well, you know the domains would be transfered in a second. That wouldn't resolve the issue.
Directnic has to do what it needs to do to protect itself, fulfill it's obligations under law and under contract (with ICANN and with Slick), and the require those people involved to fulfill their obligations in a similar manner.
