Personally I’d rather deal with the FBI accidentally seizing a domain than some foreign entity.

The National Internet Exchange of India shouldn't be a foreign entity for holders of .in domains.

The Foundation didn't seize the domain, it just suggested to the NIXI that they should do so.

“Why did you seize our domain?”

“Shadowserver said it was bad”

“But it’s not bad”

“Take it up with them. I hope you speak German.”

You'd be in luck, the Shadowserver Foundation is essentially a proxy for the FBI.

They control various seized assets seemingly unrelated to their publicly stated mission, like libertyreserve.com. Shadowserver used to host the seizure page for liberty reserve too.

That’s a pretty big claim. Source?

The Liberty Reserve connection arouses suspicion, no?
