Just as interesting is that those prefixes are certainly on spamhaus.

This should turn out very interesting indeed - maybe RIPE NCC should
just reclaim those prefixes till their ownership is resolved.  If
ever.

Hmmmm, interesting......


He contacted me privately and stated he always uses Tor. I explained how that 
lends even less credibility than a questionable/forged transfer authority in 
business discussions... He claims he will be posting from his office Monday 
morning.

The good credibility: There does appear to be a Denis Spirin in ?the Ukraine? 
who is a IT consultant. There is also a Denis Spirin who appears to be a 
director at a Russian venture capitalist... unknown if they have any 
connection.

The bad credibility: Posting thru Tor via GMail. The "link-telecom.net" domain 
appears to have no services or presence other than a MX record to GMail. The 
same "noc () link-telecom net" address he controls is also the registered 
contact on all the IP blocks in Spamhaus and allegedly hijacked... why not 
just contact Internap directly?
