This was always and inevitably going to be the end game anyway... a true and unfettered free market, where money talks and the devil takes the hindmost. Or to quote one of the greates SciFi movies of all time (Alien, 1979) "A survivor - unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality." >Excess funds can be used to buy up additional IPs to bolster ARIN >reserves, for an endowment, or potentially some other charitable venture. Sorry, but that part is just nuts. Sell IP address so that you can buy IP addresses?? That makes no sense at all. Much better to invest the money in real estate. And as it happens, I understand that there are some condos for sale in Trump Tower. For some reason, the Russians who used to own them don't seem to want them anymore. Oops! Sorry. My bad. There are -no- Russians who own condos in Trump Tower. There are however a number of offshore corporations that do own condos in Trump Tower. But you know, we can't tell you who owns those because, you know, that's confidential.
