The mythical space is 168.86.0.0/16 direct assignment NATIO-42
https://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-168-86-0-0-1/pft?s=168.86.1.1
I got a hold of it when we acquire United Artists. They used it as private
space.
I just did a ping sweep and got no replies. Nothing on BGP dig either.
I have a hard time believing they are the only ones.

Validation Upon Reassignment
Unless the space is legacy, I do not see how space can remain open for 15
years on autopilot, as someone must be paying the ARIN bill.
Even under the original policies, review of use of IPv4 space only comes up
in the context of requesting more space from ARIN. In light of the
marketability of unused space, eventually someone from that org will
eventually either use/lease/sell the space, and the tighter things go, the
more likely this will happen. It is very unlikely anyone will just return
the space, since it now has value.
This has been discussed before. The amount of resources that would be
required at ARIN to recover space from orgs that no longer exist far exceed
the current value of the space recovered. The mythical class B we are
discussing here is in fact getting quite rare, and the brokers are getting
better at tracking these down and getting them back to use.
In fact, it looks like the bulk of the legacy space with bad contacts are
approaching the /22 to /24 level, not really worth the effort, considering
that we all know the basic math is always against continued use of IPv4.
That math being the simple fact that the total number of possible IPv4
addresses is much less than the world population.
At some point, we will pass a hump in IPv6 adoption, and this will drive us
toward IPv6 becoming the main protocol on the worldwide internet. I think
at that point, that will become the peak of IPv4 value. Once IPv6 becomes
the main protocol, the value of IPv4 addresses will fall like a rock.
