What happened to whitehouse.com?

[Mighty_Girl]

If you remember some wiseguy registered that domain name and had a porno site in it. After some time it dissapeared. What happened? Was it bought by the government? Did they send in the Men in Black, or the IRS? ;)

There's a strip club in Auckland called The White House, and their site
{dudubdub.whitehouse.co.nz} is still around: they had some hassles from the real White House, but told them to get stuffed.

NB: Link disabled cos' it's, y'know, a strip club - type it in your browser by all means, but don't do it at work.

Funny, I ran into this the other day, while reading about domains and such. It seems our fellow's conscience began nagging him.
From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehouse.com)
In 2004 Parisi decided to sell the domain, mainly because of his son who would be in kindergarten the next year. At this point he was making $1 million USD annually from the site alone. Parisi had said he did not want to sell the domain name to anyone in the adult entertainment industry, and even claimed to have turned down what was essentially a blank check from a buyer hiding his identity behind his broker.
