They're making some seriously questionable allocations, for example nearly /9 or /10 of v4 to a Hong Kong company that has zero connections to anything in the Afrinic region, that appears to almost all be announced in Los Angeles and running proxies, with the rest being used for fraud/spam.

I'm wondering how much justification validation they are actually doing, or if something worse is going on.

>or if something worse is going on.

given the recent corruption allegations with PIR/ICANN, I wouldn't be surprised if it was corruption.

Well, that sounds like awfully little validation. I guess they are in good company with the rest of the world then.
