The real concern is I was shocked at the domain registrar's aggressively predatory pricing / penalties. Far from industry norm.
The domain really should be moved to a more standard domain registrar.

I probably should explain how I know that it was a lapsed credit card.

I assumed JR no longer owns the domain, etc.?
And for the life of me couldn't figure out how to contact anyone else from the board to advise the site was down. So, I rang the domain provider to see if there was a way to contact the site admin through that channel.

I asked one of their service reps via chat, if there was a way to contact the owner?
And they immediately told me the card had expired and would I like to provide them with a new card.... Nice account security there. *face palm*

Any way, my offer's still stands to provide website support services though the IT company I own, at no cost of course, if that's of any help.
