To say that any such funds now being paid to RIPE are "tainted" would be a rather gross understatement.
This is the elephant in the room that none of the opponents of 2019-03 wants to talk about, i.e. the rather inconvenient fact that RIPE, due to its intransigent lethargy, is quite apparently doing business, even as we speak, with known and well-identified cyber-criminals.
So, your local supermarket is also not allowed to sell anything to a convicted criminal?
Sorry, this is getting ridiculous.
Actually, if someone came to your local supermarket attempting to pay with a stolen good, it would probably be illegal for the supermarket to knowingly perform such transaction.
But the RIPE NCC isn't paid in stolen IP addresses. The argument was "they are making money out of evil things, and if the RIPE NCC is taking these moneyz, they are making themselves liable for the original crime". Of course if someone tries to pay their LIR fees with a stolen /16, the RIPE NCC should better not accept this :-) Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
