The domain name of first name of the current suspect, Dzhokhar.com, was registered back in 2008 and goes to a site that seems to be selling domain names called Caucasus.biz :: Caucasus Domain Portfolio
The site says:
“”Caucasus.biz is leading Domain Holding Company for Caucasus Region. Every day, we connect thousands of local consumers and businesses. One of several ways we accomplish this is through the operation of Internet Web sites corresponding to generic domain names. Therefore, we own a portfolio of domain names, only some of which may be available for sale.”
