As Bill already told you: because it may have broken the last line of 
defense which was server monitoring. With Sitefinder the monitoring 
doesn't show any problem if the domain is expired or lost the nameservers. 
I think we all agree that it's the fault of the owner firsthand, but the 
Sitefinder service may have "helped" to not identify it *in-house*. Nobody 
knows what really happened, but consider the many clueless owners of 
domains and how a still (to Sitefinder) resolving domain can complicate 
any issues for them.
