I believe it's in the registrar agreement that states the registrar must
secure payment for a domain before it is registered. So, if you have this
problem, it doesn't help, because you were supposed to have payment before
you sent the domain registration to the registry.
Now, if NSI is willing to extend credit to all those who ask, that's their
business. But you're seeing the effects of extending credit to specific
people...

No, because a product has changed hands. First, the product would have
been shipped somewhere. This means you have an address that was, at one
point, valid for the person acting fraudulently.
Having their address means you can send a bailiff to recover your assets.
This, of course, does not help if it's a PO Box, which is why most people
won't ship to PO Boxes.
Sending a bailiff to recover a domain would be very interesting.
