It gets even more interesting.  

greysy@gmx.com has already been profiled in an Avalanche botnet campaign using TROYAK-AS's services back then (The Avalanche Botnet and the TROYAK-AS Connection), followed by another assessment "TorrentReactor.net Serving Crimeware, Client-Side Exploits Through a Malicious Ad" where the same email was also used to register a name server part of the fast-flux infrastructure of the ZeuS crimeware's C&Cs.
