Did BreachForums get its domain back because NiceNIC was originally nicer to them than to law enforcement?

The FBI seized BreachForums, an illicit online forum, but it soon regained control of its domain. An email from an FBI agent suggests that the domain was seized, then released back to the original threat actor. Additionally, the FBI’s account was allegedly suspended. The Swiss prosecutor issued a court order to CloudFlare to cancel BreachForum’s account. Despite suggestions of an arrest, no official confirmation has been made. The domain is now said to be unreachable, seemingly locked by NiceNIC.
