Funny ... I had a bigger issue with the word "steal". If Namecheap did in fact squat on the domain he searched for, they could only register it because he hadn't - I don't for a minute think this is ethical (or even nice) but I doubt you could argue this is an actual crime.
In finance it would be a crime, namely ‘front running’: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_running
