If you notice in the comments, someone with the listed name claims their identity was stolen.

Its quite expected that a competent criminal would use a stolen identity so as not to connect themselves to the crime in any way.

Ad networks know who they cut a check to. There is always a paper trail in this business, even if he registered the domains in somebody els's name (risky strategy if so - that somebody else would be legal owner).
