Yes. Did you happen to work with the AllAdvantage anti-fraud team, or know a Mechanical Engineering major who dropped out of school writing poker bots and AllAdvantage bots?

MIT is (was?) one of the few schools with enough address space to hand out /16's like that.

No, but everything about that story sounded like MIT around the time I was there! Thanks for sharing, took me back.

The frat house getting a /16 and then the ensuring hijinks narrowed down the choices. I would have had MIT at the top of my guesses too.
