<div class="">If we had the numbers it would be easy enough to calculate. There were 735,000 addresses involved. Roughly 20,000 of them (~3%) needed to be transferred at $18 each to break even on the $350,000 ordered payment. How many did ARIN decide not to
reclaim because the recipients did not appear to be part of the fraud? If it was more than 3% then you could reasonably say the guy got away with it.</div>

<div class="">Indeterminate. The payment to ARIN (offsetting legal costs we incurred) was simply one element of costs involved – there obviously would have been legal costs incurred by the other party, and the arbiter decision only resolves the ARIN aspect
of the matter; it does not speak to any other implications (civil or criminal) and the associated costs. </div>
