It's looking like this block had been (probably fraudulently) parceled out
and sold in small chunks to legitimate-but-gullible companies? The first
/24 out of it and another latter /24 are advertised by a rural Nebraska
WISP with a single-homed upstream to a company that I know to be legitimate
who had added their entry to RADB for their customer. Most of the other
chunks look to be advertised by random seemingly-legitimate organizations
too.

When this space stops routing, there's going to be a big mess and I'm
pretty sure a lot of lawsuits.

Ooof.
