Ron - ARIN actually does quite a bit to insure that we’re aware of the parties we’re dealing with, and that includes verification of the legal entities involved and their pertinent bona fides. ARIN reviews transactions for potential conflict with applicable law, and has in the past declined to process transactions that are unclear in that regard and referred parties to US Treasury/OFAC to obtain appropriate clarity or licensing as appropriate.
