Which LIR? The LIR stopped paying bills and doesn't have staff any more. There is no-one to confirm the orderly transfer of responsibility for the resources. The string connecting the resource holders to the RIPE NCC snapped. The point at which a new LIR pops up and claims responsibility for the resources is the ideal moment to hijack them. I am not sure how serious a problem this is as I do not know the rate of churn for LIRs in countries for which you have expressed concerns. It could be that it is a very small risk affecting a tiny number of registrations per year. On the other hand, it could be a more significant problem. If the RIPE NCC could provide statistics for LIR churn, particularly LIRs that have requested PI assignments or ASNs for customers, that would be very helpful.
