Odds are, they're looking for a willing host for a snowshoe spamming operation. If I wanted space for something like that, Afrinic region providers would not be my first choice...particularly for the hosting. AFAIK, there are numerous LIRs in the RIPE region, particularly Romania who are more than happy to lease large blocks of IPv4 to anyone for any purpose.
Eh. If you acquire blocks that big all you need to do is to persuade some provider with a poorly enforced AUP / a willingness to look the other way to route the netblock for you, from anywhere you choose. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists@gmail.com)
