-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello, Because I wrote that I will be 100% transparent with the community I hereby attach documents of the legal proceedings with AFRINIC and with the City of Cape Town which intervened in the process, in the following link: https://limewire.com/d/GjwJG#Q9XhiNLJ5Z (Afrinic Injunction.zip) --- I also note that the following words were said on me years ago (not in NANOG): "Cohen is pure evil" "Cohen is the mastermind" I note that after my first post I received the following linked email from the moderation committee co-chair: https://limewire.com/d/GjwJG#Q9XhiNLJ5Z (Moderation.pdf) I also note that in the NANOG Discord channel the demonization of me proceeded by Brian Knight (Nanog1.png in the above link) while the two co-chairs of the moderation committee responded afterwards and did nothing (Nanog2.png in the above link). I also note that the only IPv4 that I received for free from the Regional Internet Registries, are one /22 from RIPE NCC and one /22 from AFRINIC. Because it was mentioned in NANOG - how I gained so many netblocks (there were discussions about it that included very severe defamation of me), I will explain: In 2012 the monthly rate per a c-class IP was even $8 (in relation to SEO), it was a lot, it led me to use all of the money that I had in order to purchase a /19 netblock through Addrex (Addrex I believe was the first IP broker, nearly before my transaction Addrex was the IP broker in the transaction between Nortel and Microsoft which was in the news). Building up the business took years of very hard work, 18 hours a day, no vacations, no weekends, no breaks. I grew and purchased an additional /18 through Addrex (both the /18 and the /19 were in RIPE NCC). Then I grew a little more, was able to purchase small hosting operations (through offers that were in a specific webhostingtalk forum related to such purchases), one of them failed because I wasn't too knowledgeable in the specific niche, the other one grew by 500% in a few years. Through the specific webhostingtalk forum (which is related to sales of any kind of hosting operations) and my reach to the contact in one of the threads, I reached the broker Hartland Ross, I don't remember that the first email of mine led to a transaction but afterwards I did tell him that I'm interested to purchase a big ip netblock and nearly in the year 2017 he brokered a transaction between me and Maikel Uerlings for 196.16.0.0/14 (the legal documents are in the first link above). Maikel Uerlings was the owner of the company named Network and Information Technology Limited and that was the company that was reflected in the AFRINIC WHOIS details. The purchase was based on an initial amount of $50k and additional monthly amounts (lease-to-own) of $6500 per month which turned into $10000 per month. I would like to remind that at that specific time there wasn't any demand for AFRINIC netblocks (because they couldn't be transferred outside of the region), basically I was the only one (or almost the only one) willing to put hard-earned money and hard work afterwards in order to make an offer. I remember that the process of the agreement was very long and took nearly half a year. It took me time to recover from the high costs and to be in a better position for the company to keep growing. Regarding the clients (it was also mentioned here in NANOG on who are the clients and why do they need so much IP's - questions that I never saw towards other hosting providers). All abuse reports were responded in a timely manner (and the amount of abuse reports were relatively very low comparing to the total number of the IP's), all the mailing ports were blocked, the IP's were used by top global VPN companies. It tooks me years of hard work to be in a position of such high trust from the clients (which I wish that kind of trust to any company) and because of it I was in a state that I could grow fast. In 2018 the /14 was fully in use and I wanted to buy more, I told it to Maikel Uerlings and he introduced me to Xian Ju regarding purchasing an additional group of netblocks, 10x /16's actually and for them I received the police certificate (the legal documents of that transaction are in the first link above). That transaction was in the similar model, a big upfront payment and additional big monthly payments (lease-to-own). It took me a year of hard work and the 10x /16's were fully in use. Then (in 2019) I was ready for the next transaction, it was again with Xian Ju. I remember that it wasn't fully delivered. The transaction was also in a lease-to-own model and in order to finance the big upfront payment I sold the /19 and /18 (in RIPE NCC) that I initially purchased through Addrex. One of the netblocks in this transaction was a netblock that was initially given to SASOL by IANA, then it was told to me by Maikel Uerlings that they (SASOL) decided not to sell. I also remember that there was a pressure on me for payments (in relation to that agreement) and that Xian Ju told me that Etisalat are interested too (to buy). Then near August 2019, Spamhaus added a few netblocks of mine to their SBL, I received pressure from providers to have those removed (in order for their netblocks not to be entered to the SBL list by Spamhaus, that was the tactic that Spamhaus used). I repeat that the mailing ports of the netblocks were blocked and all abuse reports were handled in a timely manner and that the relative number of the abuse reports was low comparing to the total number of the ip addresses. The issue according to Spamhaus was netblock hijacking and they referred specifically to 165.25.0.0/16 (a netblock which is written in the police certificate that I received, that netblock was initially given by IANA to the City of Cape Town). In my legal proceedings against AFRINIC like I wrote before - the City of Cape Town (CoCT) intervened and I note that their versions in their statements changed and that afterwards there was a resignation of a group of people in CoCT. Going back then to my conversation with Spamhaus, using their usual tactics they tried to extort from me business secrets, I told them that what that they are doing is wrong and that their point of view is wrong, they came to a conclusion that I bribed. I didn't agree to their actions, so what they anonymously did - they entered all of my netblocks to their SBL. I note that the BGP history of any legacy netblock that I purchased clearly show that it was used for many many years by many many different AS Numbers, it clearly shows that those legacy netblocks were monetized (and even now with the Letter of Authorization from the governmental entity, the former Atomic Energy Board that I mentioned in the first post in this thread). I know today that Spamhaus are neo-nazies with a white-supremacy agenda and that they operate from a remote island not under the jurisdiction of any country, they also have access to advanced technology, their picture in their site (Spamhaus.jpeg in the above link) is reflecting 3 generations of a single family and the architecture in the picture is the nazies preferred architecture. --- I also kindly copy Jan Vermuelen, the editor of MyBroadband and I kindly ask him: - Will you check the coverup that was made by the City of Cape Town and that is clearly reflected in the CoCT change of versions and resignations in my first link above? - Will you check how NECSA (the former Atomic Energy Board) provided a Letter of Authorization to a company (ASLine) that was assured that it will be able to use also that netblock for free? (the evidence was linked in my first post) Kind Regards, Elad On Friday, 9 May 2025 at 14:50, info--- via NANOG <nanog@lists.nanog.org> wrote:
Hello, Years ago I was mentioned in this mailing list regarding "unauthorized use of ip netblocks".
This was of course false, not 99.99% false, but 100% false.
Some of the quotes that have been here: "Cohen is a theft and a crook" "Cohen sits with impunity in Israel" "Any half brain..." "I have a receipt of the Brooklin Bridge" "Cohen bribed"
I hereby link to a police certificate that I received when I purchased a group of netblocks in 2018: https://limewire.com/d/vQYtW#e3cqcwR4Hz (STA-STATMENT-CHIHUAN.pdf)
ASLine Limited (AS137951 & AS18013) leased from us the following 3 netblocks years ago (which are listed in the mentioned above police certificate), then ASLine Limited stopped paying us and kept using those 3 netblocks: 155.159.0.0/16 160.121.0.0/16 168.206.0.0/16
They (ASLine) ignored our emails and phone calls for a very long time.
ASLine used tier1 providers that accepted BGP announcements which are related to the 3 netblocks above. Including Cogent (which persistently disconnected me but kept to provide service to ASLine). To verify it you can look at the BGP paths history (from approximately two weeks ago and before it), not the currently, because currently Cogent and other tier1 providers stopped to accept the BGP announcements which are related to above netblocks except for NTT.
ASLine cannot create route objects in AFRINIC. The account of ASLine in RADb was suspended. ASLine route objects are only in NTTCOM routing registry and NTT is the only one now accepting BGP announcements which are related to the above 3 netblocks from ASLine.
NTT is aware (by AFRINIC) that ASLine is not one of the two disputants that AFRINIC are referring to in their whois of the 3 netblocks. NTT is also aware that according to AFRINIC the disputants are Safren Computer Services, Mega Plastics (Pty) Ltd, The Atomic Energy Board - and Afri Holdings.
NTT is claiming that they (NTT) received Letters of Authorizations dated 2024 and valid until 2025 from the other disputants (meaning: Safren Computer Services, Mega Plastics (Pty) Ltd and The Atomic Energy Board).
I hereby link to it: https://limewire.com/d/vQYtW#e3cqcwR4Hz (NTT.png)
I note that The Atomic Energy Board is a governmental entity in South Africa and that NTT is aware of it.
I note that the new owner ASLine Limited in the following 3 emails told me that he was "assured" by the past owner that he will be able to use the 3 netblocks (including the governmental netblock) "for free", I hereby add the 3 links to those 3 emails: https://limewire.com/d/vQYtW#e3cqcwR4Hz (Email1.png) https://limewire.com/d/vQYtW#e3cqcwR4Hz (Email2.png) https://limewire.com/d/vQYtW#e3cqcwR4Hz (Email3.png)
In the above link there is also an email communication from the year 2020 with the Atomic Energy Board (AtomicEnergyBoard.pdf) when they wrote that they will pass the matter to their lawyers and to the South African Authorities, they wrote that they will communicate further in this regards - it never happened.
I also note that by looking at the saved BGP history of all of the netblocks in the linked police certificate, it is clear that those netblocks were used by many many Autonomous Networks which are not related to the entities that initially received them from IANA, and currently NTT have (according to their own words) a proof that the governmental entity Atomic Energy Board gave a Letter of Authorization to ASLine Limited, dated 2024, while the new owner of ASLine Limited owner (in his own words) wrote that he was "assured" that he can also use that netblock "for free" by the past seller, and when he reached out to the past seller - the past seller refused to take responsibility and claimed that they (the past owner) are not obligated, because they didn't charge anything for those 3 netblocks from the new owner.
I simply ask, what is going on here? Because the issue was written in NANOG in many threads, maybe you would be interested to know too. I copy NTT, ASLine, AFRINIC and the emails of the Atomic Energy Board which I have on file. I've decided to be 100% transparent because of the severe damages that have occurred to me and that are occurring to me.
Kind Regards, Elad
