"Tucows marked for deletion" is not a legal entity and cannot be the "owner" of a domain regardless of what anyone else does. Theoretically an UDRP or law suit could be brought in the period where the domain has this owner. Your discussion of "conspiracy" is an attempt to divert attention from the facts.
