ASN in use, but no whois data?

[Matt Harris <matt () netfire net>]

Hey folks,
I'm looking at an ASN 394183 and I can't find any whois or other contact
data. I've checked globally and then also ARIN directly and literally
nothing as if it weren't registered. It's announcing prefixes, at least one
of which is IRR invalid part of a larger old PSINET block, though, and I'm
seeing them in the global routing table.

Anyone have any idea how this could happen where an ASN is in use,
transiting several major providers to the internet, but no whois data as if
it didn't exist?

Thanks,
Matt
