Liberian enterprises going underground?

A number of enterprises with small degrees of separation from Saint Regis have disappeared recently (their domain registrations have expired). I suppose some of them may have been reregistered but are now cloaking their web presence.

Apollo Certification Institute: www.apolloci.com with contact phone number (877) 736-0812 listed on the site. IP 216.171.216.164; domain registration period 5/11/2002 - 5/11/2004.

James Monroe University: http://www.jmuniversity.ac/ now has a password-protected entry page.

National Board of Education (see a different thread): IP 216.171.216.167; domain registration period 5/11/2002 - 5/11/2004.

Blackstone University (a Saint Regis affiliate which had been displaying a "we were bought by..." message on its site) www.blackstonedu.org. Same domain registration period, which expired 5/11.

Here's an interesting one that will disappear on June 8: "Hampton Bay University" whose home page at http://www.hamptonbayu.com/ informs us that

Blackstone and Richard Novak

Here's a little more information about Blackstone University.

From an April, 2003 archive of the Saint Regis faculty roster,

Mr. Novak was interviewed in the WTHR news story about Indianapolis Chrysler workers' SRU degrees recently.
