Folks - 

It occurred to me that I could have been clearer, so here I am replying 
to myself...

When we at ARIN can readily determine that an organization is defunct 
and has no apparent successor, we will reclaim resources.  This generally 
happens because someone attempts a fraudulent transfer of those resources 
but can also be a result of other investigations.

We give a report of returned, revoked, and reclaimed number resources at 
each member meeting - last April's report can be found here: 
https://www.arin.net/participate/meetings/reports/ARIN_XXV/PDF/Wednesday/Nobile_RSD.pdf

Obviously, we'll be presenting updated statistics this upcoming week in 
Atlanta; there's been a bit of a surge of activity in this area.
