Must be a terrible coincidence that the domain whois history changed but i canst seem to find any public record of the history, it may be likely these records aren't even 100% accurate. Plus the domain since it was in my possession was using namecheap's whois privacy service.
anyway in this post i will provide all the proof i can including PMs between me and ironmarvel. i am happy to give any moderator or admin who has access to verify the legitimacy of these PM's if need to.

I did not do anything with the site ever since i purchased unfortunately due to lack of time. I was instructed by ironmarvel to contact the bitbox devs for additional customizations, which I did. I added them on skype and they quoted me something like $400 for some work. I did not go through with it at the time because I was busy and thought I'd do it later on.
I have not heard form ironmarvel or his partner since either. I reached out to ironmarvel a few days ago and yesterday and notified him of this thread. He has not replied to my PMs.
