This question is part reality, part surreality.

Let me ask you this: What would you do when you have alerted
(via abuse@ contacts) a notable ISP in the U.S. (not a tier one,
and not just one of them) about KNOWN, VERIFIABLE, and RECURRING
criminal activity in their customer downstreams? =


And the downstream(s) do not respond? And the criminal activity
continues?

The most obvious answer is: Gather evidence, contact law
enforcement.

Right?

I just wanted to reach out the NANOG on this and see what you
thought... How would you handle it?
