Cybersquatting registrar OnlineNic has gone out of its way to hide its primary 
business address.  On ICANN's list of accredited registrars it only posts this 
info:

Carrie Arden Tel: 510-769-8492

Google's residential phonebook shows this phone number registered to:
Rex Liu  2251 Mosley Ave,Alameda, CA 94501 

Rex is cited as an onlinenic technical contact here:

Hint:  note the large number of Xiamen, China phone numbers

Meanwhile, OnlineNic's support page provides a mailing address at 
351 Embarcadero E. 
Oakland, CA 94606  

Unfortunately, their office isn't there either -- for an investigative report 
(complete with pictures) see

So where is their primary place of business?  See the link below:
