RE: Purchased IPv4 Woes

["Chuck Church" <chuckchurch () gmail com>]

Maybe a silly idea, but shouldn't the sale of a block of addresses (RIR ownership change) trigger a removal of that 
block from all reputation list databases?  If I buy a car from a police auction, I'm fairly sure the FBI doesn't start 
tailing me, because the car was once used for less than legal purposes.  New owner, clean slate.

I am interested in what broker you used as well.  We have used a few that do a little due diligence on their end, but 
we still do our own.   We have seen an auction pulled due to the space having a bad reputation, but we were the ones 
who had to step up and say something.
