Well if ripe allows the creation of bogus LIRs with little or no oversight and these then go ahead and do all the evil sure, let’s not blame ripe for it.

So there is LIR contact data in the RIPE DB which is not properly validated
- and that should certainly be brought to the NCC's attention, and fixed.
This is still far from Suresh' usual claim "the NCC is complicit to all
the IPv4 gangsters out there, doesn't validate anything, and the DB is
full of fake data". Which is being repeated frequently, to the point
of being outright detrimental because it just annoys, without spurring
anyone into corrective action.
