 Sounds to me like Lance, as many in the world, is under heavy financial
duress.

I would venture to say that sometime in the past he started borrowing some
incoming monies. And then eventually got caught up in it and could not face
the music.

I would say, dev team, time to go to plan b with a new site centos.something
as a backup. And unfortunately prepare to get that domain back somehow.

This is a bad time and it is not unusual for partners in a business to take
the money and run.
I would say the money is gone, and I doubt he would have any to repay.

I would offer a deal to let him go his own way without legal issues to get
access to the whole shebang again. Its either that or waste a lot of money
on a lawyer.

Offer him immunity and get the site back asap. He has, in my guess, fallen
badly and is in trouble. Wherever he lives, go check the county records for
legal items against him (mortgage, etc)...and that may leave you a clue.

I think I speak for all of us when I say good luck and we are all very
worried but believe in all of you.

Best of luck,
Bob
