This is an old enough "technique" dating back to a few years -
re-registering an expired domain that belonged to the ARIN contact,
and filling out the ISP paperwork.
There does seem to be something that needs to be done - its not
something ARIN can easily look into, the SP is much better placed to
take action. But its a gray area between the two.
