Another option for you, as I suggest with that domain purchase, might be heavy use of the disavow tool.

PS: Just rethought this with regard to the domain purchase, since that would be a pre-emptive use of the tool, not a use in reaction to an algorithmic Penguin penalty. That's not what the tool is intended for.

Conceivably, the tool might be useful in your case, since I gather you do have a Penguin algorithmic demotion.
