| What happens in the event of a fraudulent transfer? | | Is the domain returned to the original registrar, or just the original | registrant? Does the end date get set to the original end date, plus | one year or plus two years?

I gained a year when it was transferred and another year when it was returned. Presumably the registrars each paid for a year. I offered to reimburse my registrar for the return cost, but they declined my offer. This was one of those small drop-catching registrars, and they not only assisted in the recovery but also wouldn't pass along their costs. (Of course the domain was lost in the first place because they were slow to implement locking.)
