This is a bad source, it doesn&#x27;t even tell us what the fraud was or what the case was about. I understand that it is from ARIN and ARIN is the victim, but it doesn&#x27;t mean it is a good write-up.<p>This article from 2019 is, less bad, but still doesn&#x27;t explain it very well:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zdnet.com&#x2F;home-and-office&#x2F;networking&#x2F;arin-recovers-735000-fraudulently-obtained-ipv4-addresses&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zdnet.com&#x2F;home-and-office&#x2F;networking&#x2F;arin-recove...</a><p>So, they purchased addresses from ARIN (via shell companies), then resold them. They made a profit. That&#x27;s arbitrage. All the article keeps saying vis-a-vis fraud is they &quot;failed to provide documents.&quot;<p>My point isn&#x27;t even that this isn&#x27;t fraud, it is just that seemingly nobody is able to write up the case in a coherent way. EXPLAIN THE FRAUD.
