There are a lot of sleazy characters in this business, and a lot of these registrars are right on the top of the heap. I wouldn't trust most of them for a nano-second. Of course, the true blame lies with Icaan who shoud strip them promptly of their license. Don't worry though, someday soon these clows are going to outsmart themselves. Fraud is fraud, and takes many forms. Someone is going to wind up getting sued over some of these practices and then it won be quite so funny. They are already getting sued over trademark and the "typo" carap, and that is only the beginning. Good for them. For sure.

I've have a couple instances of searching for names that were decent and a niche that I'd guess not a lot of people mess with and BAM! couple days later those domains were bought up. Hhhmmmm.
