We've long been aware that BT *never* deals with spammers or DoS attacks

BT has a number of users who are apparently testing out stolen credit
card numbers from their network against stores of all flavors.

Which BT? There are several organisations within the BT Group...

3 months of attempts by US banks, US police departments, FBI, etc to get
any action taken on these issues has gone nowhere.  BT is "protecting
the interests of their users".  Meanwhile the stolen credit card
attempts continue unabated.

We're considering null-routing all BT netblocks.  I'm wondering how many
others have already come to the same conclusion?

No something I would recommend to anyone that has any commercial sense.

Serious suggestion, try http://www.ispa.org.uk/ they can probably get
you into contact with the right person within BT
