Nicholas Bolton it's in trouble.Today,the Domain Administration (auDA),had banned one company,Bottle Domains,for a "serious breach of its obligations."

Even though he denied that his company had done something improper ,auDA said in a statement that it had "terminated the registrar accreditation of Australian Style Pty Ltd  trading as Bottle Domains".Also,the chief executive of auDA, Chris Disspain, told news.com.au: "We view this as being extraordinarily serious. Someone broke into their system. They did nothing other than apply a patch as far as we know."Mr Disspain said that his company is investigating two of Mr Bolton’s other registry businesses."We are currently considering what, if any, action to take in respect to those two (other) registrars bearing in mind there is a continuity of management between them and Bottle Domains," Mr Disspain said.
In one of his last statements Chris Disspain said "In our view, Bottle Domains’ failure to deal properly with the security incident in April 2007 demonstrated an alarming disregard of the potential risks to its own customers, and to the overall stability and integrity of the Australian DNS.Given the seriousness of the matter, it is appropriate that auDA terminate Bottle Domains’ registrar accreditation."
Mr Bolton's statement regarding this problem was the following:  "We are in state of disagreement with the position (of the) registrar and are taking measures to remedy the matter," he said. "We deny that there was a breach."
