Good afternoon. There’s a long story about Mr Lu Heng and AFRINIC, and the APNIC community should know about it.
Lu Heng uses “Larus” in Asia Pacific but his company in Afrinic region is Cloud Innovations. Cloud Innovation has 6 million++ AFRINIC IPs, and rents them to networks around the world, mostly outside Africa. Cloud Innovation broke the AFRINIC service agreement because IPs are allocated to responsible network operators, not to brokers who sell or rent to almost any other people including criminals. When AFRINIC announced to take the IPs back, Cloud Innovation sued them and blocked their banking for months to cause most damage. Last month Cloud Innovation lost the courts case, now we hope AFRINIC will take the IPs back again for proper use for people in Africa. Lu Heng has been paying young people to attend AFRINIC meeting to support him, through “Larus Foundation” fellowship, which is just a lie. He sues AFRINIC community people for defaming him in mailing lists, just to make them shut up. He is no friend, he is fighting Afrinic any way that he can. AFRINIC is not perfect but its getting better. Mr Lu Heng is breaking the rules and costing a LOT of money and trouble for AFRINIC members and other Rirs too. Lu Heng is working only for himself, never for the internet. He should not be allowed to join APNIC EC.
