I think it’s time to take this name-calling, libel-threatening tirade off of Nanog, gentlemen. I can’t see any further 
relevance in this discussion to Nanog’s mission of operational issues, and you all just burn CPU cycles the rest of us 
don’t want to give up. Have a nice day.

Everything you did and you wrote in this forum until today, including mudslinging and slandering, including thieves and 
crooks, they are libel for all intents and purposes with everything it implies, and this without to display any proof.

We return and say, in our hands are all the agreements of the purchases that we've purchased properly with our best 
money.

It is hinted from your tongue-lashing, that you are connected clearly with Spamhaus and ARIN, that have an interest to 
receive the ranges, following the increase of value of the ranges in the free market and the lack of them.

All of this subject was transferred to our lawyers, due to the mudslinging and slandering and the nicknames you wrote 
thieves and crooks in this forum, a libel suit against you will be filed with a high amount, of course that all of the 
written proofs an agreements regarding the legal purchases that we've made will be added to the libel suit.

I guess that there is something that either you, or perhaps I, are not
understanding here.

Did you mean to suggest that either Mr. Cohen or any of the friendly networks
that he has persuaded to announce routes for him (by paying them to do so)
are doing any of this just for their health?

Financial gain appears to me to be the obvious motivation for all of this.

Allow me to clarify.

In the case if the APNIC region blocks that I have called out, I have -no-
evidence to suggest that there has been any deception or untoward manipulation
of registry information whatsoever.

With respect to the AFRINIC region blocks I have called out, if you have a
relevant citation from the criminal code of the island nation of Mauritius,
I would be most appreciative if you would share that with me.  It may come
in handy at some point.
