Come to think of it, there are probably botnets for rent where the "owner" has verified non-compliance with BCP38 and will arrange for X number of fresh machines spread across everywhere to VPN into your server and pass packets for you. Why not bring in a little extra cash while waiting for the next DDOS target? Particularly when the packets emitted are unlikely to be traceable to the bot.
