APNIC has contacted the custodians of 139.44.0.0/16 and 168.198.0.0/16 and brought this matter to their attention.
Excellent. Thank you. If possible, it would be Good if APNIC could also make contact with the rightful owners of the following additional 3 Japanese blocks, all of which were, of late, routed by Cogent to FDCServers and thence, presumably, to Mr. Cohen. 143.136.0.0/16 143.253.0.0/16 146.51.0.0/16 I tried to make contact myself with the legit owners of all of the above, but found it to be quite difficult. The registered owner of the first one appears to have gone into hiding on a remote island someplace. I only say that because, despite some considerable effort on my part, I was not able to find him. Making contact with the legitimate owners of the other two blocks, both of which belong to Japanese corporations that are still very much alive, was rather difficult also, because I am only a stupid gaijin, and don't speak a word of Japanese.
