The events following the acquisition of my previous startup Bitcoinica gave me a big hit on reputation. This made really frustrated as well.
Basically I sold 100% financial interest in October/November 2011 and I stopped all involvement in the company after April 2012 when I started NameTerrific. The new management was unable to process refunds to affected customers and a series of chaotic events blew up. Many were made up (especially the insider job theory about the last hack) for profit (for example, the owner of the exchanger who wrote the story retained $40,000 funds illegally and refused to provide any information needed to reclaim the money).
Your domains will be safe as I had absolutely no intent to operate any unethical business. Bitcoinica was controlling at peak $1 million in assets during my management and nothing went wrong at that time.
