It is not in the least bit clear that such stripping is in fact occuring,
and if anything the available evidence seems to suggest that it may not be.

The key point is accountability.  In the case of bogon ASNs, no one is
responsible, and an aggreived or offended party cannot easily find out
even who to discuss the matter with if they are being hacked, attacked,
or spammed from a range of IPs being routed by a bogon ASN.

P.S.  It does not seem to be the case that only HE internal sensors
are the only ones seeing some of these routes.  Here is what RIPEstat
is telling me right now about routes being announced by AS65000, just
to name one bogon ASN out of many:
