Since you mentioned Hilco specifically. . . IPv4.Global is the IPv4 address brokerage operated by Hilco Streambank. We match organizations who have more IPv4 address space than they need with organizations who need more IPv4 address space than they have. This is consistent with ARIN's Number

You can hold onto resources you don't actively need, and nothing in any RIR agreement I'm aware of (I'm only familiar with ARIN's) says otherwise. There is no requirement to return resources under any circumstances. So you're saying you can justify a large amount of IPs with ARIN, then

I agree that why would you return something that has value that you can sell, but isn’t there the requirement that you have a justification for the IP addresses when you got them from ARIN? And if you can now sell them and in some cases sell large blocks of them, either someone lied to a RIN to
