OT trying to figure out squatters activity

Hello all,

I'm sorry to bring this subject to the list, again, but i was wondering 
if someone could tell me if i'm being paranoid and/or help me out.

Some may remeber my recent posts about some expired domains i own(ed).

On my last post on the subject, on the 25th of September, i said that 
the only domain i showed interest in, by contacting the new owner - 
LeaderByChoice, Inc- , a domain re-seller, was apparently being held 
captive for registration, and not in fact registered since the creation 
date kept changing. Today i did an whois on the domain again, and to my 
surprise i got:

   Updated Date: 29-sep-2008
   Creation Date: 29-sep-2008
   Expiration Date: 29-sep-2009

I wonder how legal these record updates are and if this isn't a clear 
manouver to keep the domain locked by some registrar which also is, or 
is affiliated with, a  domain re-seller.

I also would like to ask if, in your opinion, i should contact ICANN 
about this or if there's any other entity, more appropriate, that could 
clarify this matter.

the registrar doing these updates is MAXIM INTERNET, INC.

Best regards, and thank you in advance for any advice,

Hugo Monteiro.
