So a domain I am desperately trying to re-obtain - and actually have valid legal claim to, but don't want to legally pursue (yet) - is currently under GoDaddy suspension for having invalid Whois information.

This domain name has been suspended due to invalid Whois information.
If you are the registrant of this domain name please contact us at invalidwhois@secureserver.net

The company that owned the domain folded and the Whois registrar was obviously no longer with the company, so GoDaddy audited and suspended it.

The bastards had it registered till 2016, but have NOTHING on the site, and will probably not realize for a VERY long time that it is suspended, since they aren't getting the emails from GoDaddy and have had a dead site for the last year, so it looks the same.

Already put a godaddy backorder on it, but according to them, this won't work until AFTER the expiration. What else can I do to try and get this domain back without suing?

HELP!

Nothing. Pay the $2500 arbitration fee to WIPO or whoever and take it!
 
GoDaddy is likely holding on to the domain to assess it's traffic levels. Then they'll auction it off on TDNAM.

Greedy bastards!

I figured thats what they do with their suspended ones, but what happens if I have a backorder placed already? Do you think they'd still push to TDNAM?
