Right. An that doesn't seem to be RIPE's strong suit.
It's not so much a questions on RIPE's strong suit, but more the LIRs,
that don't keep their info updated.
RIPE only updates the basic data, to match it the contract data, but
they're quite adament about updated data, if you want further
allocations, which now sort of again is ... void.
Specifically, bgp.he.net is reporting the name associated with AS47860 as
"Albino, LLC", but personally, I have no idea where they are getting that
name from. (And it sure doesn't look like a European style of company
name... rather more American, I think.)
I reckon .. but this is a guestimate, that the AS and prefix probably
was allocated to that company in the past, but either their contract
never was finalised or their contract was cancelled by one of the parties.
So that might have been the name that "used" to be in the whois database
for that prefix and ASN, but now isn't anymore, if the entity has ceased
to exist.
That could also be the reason, why the prefix and ASN have been seen
historically.
Either way ... that's a guestimate, but a very plausable one. Only
somebody inside RIPE would be able to shed more light into, what
actually happened. If they're actually permitted (could be prevented by
data protection).
Kind regards,
