[rpd] Re: [Board-Discuss] Re: [afnog] A typical case of abuse of our resources!!!

[Stephen Wilcox]

I think you have a good case for rescinding allocations that are fraudulent
or being abused.

The "off the continent" is not that relevant, since the LIR in the original
email appears to be in the Seychelles.

As for "the pending allocation" - unless I missed an email, this is just an
example and the referenced discussions date from 2013 and already allocated
resources across multiple RIRs.
