You appear to be making a large number of assumptions on limited =
evidence. In the case I'm familiar with, I can assure you that no laws =
were being broken (even if all the parties were in the same country, =

want to hijack the thread. The issue of route hijacking is quite =
serious and it will be interesting to see how this all works out.
