Reread this post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41592.msg1443369#msg1443369In it he says:
It is exactly the old server, I only restored it. I already was the owner before the last Bitmit auction on Bitmit were published so dont worry but then decided to keep it. The time I took over Bitmit was time before..
Which is really confusing English. However I read that last sentence as saying he is not the original owner of Bitmit. Unfortunately, he doesn't say when (or what or how) this happened, only that it happened before the Bitmit auction "was published".

seems to me he bought it from the original creator (german guy) without the public knowing. Then he wanted to sell it and made the auction and changed his mind again.
