I would like to highlight that this is anecdotal observations and not factual data. This is a very small subset of the likely hundred+ million domain names that use privacy/proxy services for legitimate purposes, including palage.com <http://palage.com/>. The article also repeatedly highlights how the FBI thanked private partners who worked with the FBI to address this issue: “This seizure is part of a coordinated response with our private sector partners to dismantle the infrastructure that cyber espionage actors use to attack U.S. and international targets,” said U.S. Attorney Ismail J. Ramsey for the Northern District of California. “We thank all of our private-sector partners for their diligence in analyzing, publicizing, and combating the threat posed by these illicit state-coordinated actions in the Northern District of California, across the United States, and around the world.” Again, I cannot comment on any involvement of Namecheap in this matter, but it appears that the FBI does not have any concerns with the use of privacy/proxy services for the seized domains. I am not sure what this intervention means to show. Are you implying that the bad actors only did the bad stuff because they were able to use a privacy or proxy service?

Attached is the Public Whois information associated with the following domain names seized by the US Department of Justice, seehttps://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-disrupts-russian-intellige...
You will see that most of these domain names appear to have been using a privacy/proxy service.
Best regards,
Michael
