The seller was: Brian Kantor, Phil Karn, K. C. Claffy, John Gilmore,
who make up the B.O.D. of the 501(c)(3) tax exempt firm ARDC (Amateur
Radio Digital Communications)
Note: These addresses have never been used.
Please note this is NOT correct. It was posted by DL9SAU (one of the
Germany AMPR coordinators) so far:

..with currently ~9500 assignments.

The users of those IPv4 blocks will not have to request new blocks and then
work to re-address their entire infrastructure. That's potentially a very
large body of work. In addition to this, I believe as other AMPR users and
coordinators learn of this sale (the news broke late last night), more
conflicts will be exposed.
This sale was conducted behind closed doors with no public vetting or any input
from the AMPR community. There was no bidding process and this large chunk of
limited Internet resource and it went to a single US mega-corporation: Amazon.
Many aspects of this sale sets off several different alarms in my mind. My
largest concern here is what prevents the ARDC from selling off the next 25%,
50%, or 100% of the address space? If this current sale is 100% legal, then
there is nothing blocking them from doing it again.

This opens up a funding source for research. It may take a long time
