i agree with suresh - ripe has been handing over /15 or even /13 lately to criminals who know how to use high bandwidth pipes to spam like crazy. I am not worried about a /24 given to bad guys - but in this world where ipv4 addresses are so scarce, handing over such huge range of addresses is not correct and it is common sense for everyone to understand this - how can somebody who did right paper work get /15 without proper justification ?

If the customer is not doing anything illegal, their papers are in order
(contracts on paper arrive at the address given, and come back with
a signature), and they are paying their fees, what else do you want to
see for due diligence?

So what?  Not accept customers/members because they don't wash, and smell bad?

I wonder when someone will show up and demands to reject LIRs that host
content for adult entertainment...  because that's illegal in some states
in the world.
