Well, the contract for a domain is automatically renewed unless it is canceled.
So either he realy continues, ignores it or payed several years in advance.
Or he is dead, in jail or a few people have found him and torture him in this moment.
But most likely, he is sitting somewhere in his villa and laughs.
Domain is automatically renewed if payment is confirmed.
as you can see it`s updated yesterday 2015-12-20
but as you said it does not mean anything,
for last 6 months disaster happened so at this point I doubt they can do anything to get new investors.
