    Because even the worst of bureaucracy employees isn't going to put "this is how [russian cybercriminals] are spending [money]" and place some absolutely weird pictures of a small and cheap house next to a pond, a small and cheap trailer being pulled in snow, a relatively nice but middle-class affordable boat in a swamp, and a family of four by a pool.

    well the fact is that they did.

    seizedservers is apparently a commonly used domain to redirect domain seizures to. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/z-library-ebook-site-domains-seized-by-us-dept-of-justice/.

    This is none of the domains mentioned in the article, and as far as I know this site was only modified yesterday.

    This image has also been floating around for a while, but I don't know how often the FBI reuses target-specific images.

    you can do a whois, which shows that the redirect is to a domain used for domain seizures. you should edit your post, as it is factually incorrect.
