Just checked and it appears ARIN reacted quickly and updated whois info for 170.208.0.0/16, I think they put back info that was there before. I do hope they will get in touch with right people and update the block with new info soon. [whois.arin.net] OrgName: ISD OrgID: ISD-1 Address: 9150 E.

Currently I am still seeing your routes being announced via NLayer.
In view of all the information provided to you here, I am amazed that you continued to announce IP ranges which you now know are not yours.

People will of course make up their minds individually as to whether what you did caused harm. You may assist them greatly in coming to their decisions, by answering the following questions truthfully:
[1] who precisely was it that you claim gave or sold you the rights to use the netblock 170.208.0.0/16? [2] who initially entered your details - including your contact e-mail address - against that netblock on ARIN's database?
