Knowing that blatant lying about IP space justifications has been an ongoing game in the community, ARIN has decided to "do something" about it.

That game has been going on for over a decade. I've seen it first hand as far back as '96. I've even seen multiple address allocations using the *exact* same email -- once or twice a year, not like they were 4 requests on the same day; they had been using that same "form email" for *YEARS* -- "(me) And they fall for it? (coworker) Every time."
As you point out, this will have zero effect. The COO ("officer") will either be clueless as to the fine details of the operation and rely on the information ("lies") from his managers and techies. Or, he's the one telling them to lie in the first place.
