The question discussed is the practice of performing resource review as a result of fraudulent applications.no. what was being discussed was transfers. you turned left, asserted that they were fraudulent, and told people to turn in their neighbors.
If a company can justify a /?? with ARIN, they are free to turn around and pay someone else for a /?? or less. They can even buy a corporate shell that has a registered address range and it is not fraudulent. Where fraud enters the picture is where the buyer is doing an end run around ARIN policy and buys a /?? which they cannot justify under ARIN rules. Or, when they buy a corporate shell that has the same name as the registrant of a legacy address range, but that corporate shell is not actually the successor of the company who originally registered the addresses. The group of neighbors who depend on IP addresses for their organization's networks and internetworks, have gathered together in the IETF and later in ARIN, to set up some ground rules for how IP addresses are managed. The process is open, and transparent and based on the necessities of limited supply and technical details of IP routing. Yes, if someone is cheating the rest of their neighbors then you should turn them in. --Michael Dillon
