Job, Unless of course they are not actually on an IXP listed. Bitcanal is not a member of TorIX and as far as I recall, never has been. The IP they list in PeeringDB was never assigned to them at any point and in fact was used by an AS112 instance which was run by TorIX directly on the fabric for a time. I sent in a note to PeeringDB several years ago about Bitcanal claiming to be a peer when they were not and never heard back.. I'll resend. -- Stephen (ops, TorIX) On 2018-06-26 1:01 AM, Job Snijders wrote:

Without the generous support of Cogent, GTT, and Level3 this dumbass lowlife IP address space thief would be largely if not entirely toast. So what are they waiting for? Why don't their turf this jackass? Are they waiting for an engraved invitation or what?
As I always ask, retorically, in cases like this: Where are the grownups?
You could ask the same about the IXPs that facilitate the reach and impact of Bitcanal’s BGP hijacks by allowing that network on their platform: https://bgp.he.net/AS197426#_ix
