I am, as should now be obvious, far more concerned with the latter than with the former at this moment in time. And since you are quite self-evidently evading and avoiding providing any answer at all with respect to "holding those responsible accountable" you force me to once again repeat my primary question: Why? Why is it that, after a year and a half, the members and the community still know absolutely nothing about the progress of the case against Ernest, or conversely, the utter lack thereof? Why is every last detail about this still, and to this day, shrouded in secrecy? Why is this still, after a year and a half, "not a matter of public record"? And whose benefit is served by sweeping this whole matter, and the status of the man primarly responsible for these thefts under the carpet? I have asked an even much simpler question, to which I have also gotten no response, no matter how many different ways I have tried, publicly, privately, and every possibility in between: Has anyone in AFRINIC even lifted a finger to so much as make a simple follow-up inquiry to the Mauritian police about this case within the entire past year? And if not, why not? Obviously, even that minimalist step has not been done. If it had been, then you would be here crowing about it. This isn't about headlines. This is about justice, and about how AFRINIC seems intent on effectively turning a blind eye towards even the most extraordinary and eggregious criminal behavior, at least when it is perpetrated by one of its own highly placed staff insiders. Prove me wrong. This also isn't about "priorities". It would take ten minutes for either Eddy or any board member to call up the Mauritian police and just say "Hey! Remember that case of grand theft that we reported to you more than a year ago now? What ever happened to that?" This small investment of ten minutes is hardly going to interfere with whatever other grand plans and long term projects AFRINIC may be working on at the moment. The fact that neither Eddy nor any board member is even willing to invest a mere ten minutes to make such a simple and reasonable follow-up inquiry is quite certainly suggestive, not merely of apathy, but of a deliberate decision, made in bad faith, to quietly let the wole matter drop.... because after all "Ernest was one of us."
