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.

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.
