It wasn't law enforcement taking the domain name, it also was only solved fast because of intervention from the Namecheap CEO.
I didn't say it was law enforcement directly taking down the domain name, I said that it was collateral damage from law enforcement operation against botnet.
As the original operation was run by interpol, europol etc i think this was a fairly accurate description, especially in context of a tldr; which gives some constitutional rights to simplify things :)
