> Namecheap immediately resold the domain to a squatter

No I don't see how their post allows one to infer that Namecheap "immediately" resold the domain. Their policy is a 30 day grace period, and within that 30 days the domain should become non functional, so if you're actively using it then you would know something is up.

Sounds like jamiek88 was squatting on a somewhat desirable domain and is just sad they couldn't follow some basic instructions.

I have no idea what the "because of COVID" thing is about.

I took it to mean that they got COVID and were out of commission long enough that the domain was sold by the time they “came back round to reality”.
