With unknown billions going out the door it seems the fraudsters are reinvesting in themselves. Not only are they bying their own netblocks, but they are setting up their own ISPs, so that the goodguys don't have anyone to complain to when they run them to ground. Â
The fraudsters are going to some local registries in Europe and getting massive amounts of IP space and then they just go to a hosting provider and set up their own data centers. So what's the problem?  Who are you going to call to take down these sites? Worse yet once these subnets are abandoned it may be hard to every reuse the space as the range may sit on blacklists for years, or they stop paying the bills, the space gets null-routed and then it's a real mess.
