Two twitter accounts for that name. This one is listed for a Jason Levin in Portland Oregon, http://twitter.com/xenex11 where he tweets about the URL.
This on is listed on the site discussion board - http://twitter.com/tpartycrasher
Just to be helpful of course.
Someone from Portland can determine through the local register of deeds or tax records if the person owns that property.
Ok. If the whois info you have was for the actual registrant of the website, he’s now given false, fraudulent registration information to the .org registrar, which should be grounds for having the domain name registration revoked. This is the full whois record that I get this morning when I pull the data:

The name is now listed as “Ben Franklin” and the address as “3 Chestnut Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19115” - that address does not exist.
Also, the telephone number is now listed as 215-752-1992, which resolves to a publicly available record for a line registered to a “S. Lamonoff” with a street address of “121 Trappe Ln,Langhorne, PA 19047-1432” which does show up in a google maps search.
Apparently, this dweeb is so clueless - or so penniless - that he doesn’t know about private registrations, which would have both kept his info private and also kept his domain name registration legitimate. As it is, since he’s now got false info on the domain name registration, that’s grounds for having that domain name registration revoked. Since we have almost 100% proof of a fraudulent registration, we should all contact the .org domain name registrar, as well as the webhosting company that’s currently hosting the website - ipower.com - and demand that they revoke the domain name registration on account of the false, fraudulent information.
