I am hearing people looking into this route of action... kind of like attacking a host for illegal content to shut em down with pressure, shut down the domain, since the owners are based in USA, can the same be done for domains where is blatent obvousl of the crimes?

It's one thing losing a host, imagine losing your .com, that would hurt!
If the rules of the registrar are broken then the dot com can be taken but it might
be hard to do otherwise.

I think the biggest problem would be that the scammer is going to use domains that
they don't care about and just get new ones all the time.
