Whoisguard: A proxy for crime targeting the USA from the USA?

 Background: A domain proxy is a system whereby a domain owner, the registrant,  hides his or her details for a domain registration behind a registrar or reseller’s proxy. The proxy owner substitutes his own details for those of the registrant, the domain owner. This is a great shield for legitimate users wishing to protect their privacy, but also attracts malicious registrants using fake registration details.
