You’re saying a whole region consists of parties who don’t route IP traffic?
If not, you’re making a false equivalency.

That’s unfortunate, and I hope RIPE revokes any allocations which were made
under false pretenses and are being currently used in ways that violate RIPE’s
current policies. As AfriNIC does.

I believe the blocks in question are:
154.80.0.0/12
45.192.0.0/12
156.224.0.0/11
154.192.0.0/11
So, yes, 6,144 times less.

If you know of someone who’s fraudulently acquired _more_ than 6.3M IPv4
addresses, and is profiting from their being used in contravention of RIR
policy, I very much encourage you to request that your RIR perform a compliance
audit.
Since, after all, that’s what the RIR’s job is.
