@Maounique - Snap out of it!
Get proof, otherwise you make a fool of yourself, posing as some crazy and paranoid victim which offenses others by wasting their time. Give us proof, or forever hold your peace. There is no popcorn drama without a real drama. All we see is now is a crazy person (you) on PMS.
That is really strange from many points of view.
1. It is supposed that the BGP is down. If it is up, where are the other services?
2. Maybe the control panel has been restored from an older backup and has still connection to the nodes. This means some nodes are still in working order and even powered up.
3. Bah, there are too many strange things to list here...
Reposting for the TL;DR people

Pulled BGP announcements from his ASN a minute ago and I see the following subnets:
Everything is transiting via AS8708, RCS/RDS. The 89.45.46.0/24 range is via terrahost and has never gone dark.
That subnet count has increased from a couple days ago, but only by 1 - 2.
Still would like to see the subnet list for the 12k IP's. That's a lot, literally a $640K USD nest egg.
EDIT - it seems I'm as special as @Maounique and I can't use the

Thank you. Now we have a real drama, with the same @Francisco who bashed @cociu and who so far failed to get @dahartigan into court. Seems that @Francisco has quite a big mouth with empty words.
EDIT: I also forgot about the CP which adds more value to this drama.
If we consider he could sell it which I doubt.
I think RDS is good enough for his usage scenario. I wouldnt spend on telia for that.
If he has that, yeah, it's a big pay day. He already sold a single /22 and he said he intends to sell more. I don't know if the 'more' are just /24's or were bigger blocks.
Still, proof of a large amount of drives kicking out errors all at once, a prefix list, something, would help his case.
Francisco
I mean, why wouldn't he? He's already looking to refund/credit/whatever much of his storage customer base. The storage people must account for a very large sum of his userbase, maybe 80% - 90%? He only ever had 4k-ish IP's on his ASN I think, so maybe 1k users left on the high side?
Again, this is all assuming the blocks are real/exist.
Pretty sure Telia isn't going to do month-2-month, especially 100gig ports. I figure he had the port on a trial period (i've heard of some providers doing this) and he returned it.
We saw similar when his 'juniper failed and we had to move back to the old router', never to see the juniper again.
EDIT - Fixing quote box
Francisco
So the juniper was on a trial basis too?
Demo unit? You can get them pretty easily, especially if it's an older generation (MX240/480). They'll let you run it for 2 - 3 months.

These are missing:
OK:
So 45 is set to be sold and...89? Maybe he meant 85 (or he has some bigger 89 blocks that aren't listed?).
Francisco
Long way to 13k. Heck, even Prometeus doesnt have 13k.
That's why I'm asking if he has them under another ORG and if he can share that. If he intends to put customers on those 12k IP's then it should be no problem for him to share the blocks.
At peak his ASN only ever had 3k - 4k IP's under it, that's why people were questioning his 3000+ customer comment. It keeps getting brushed under the rug though.
Francisco
For now, the 13k IPs can only be taken as a fairy tale.
I think he meant 3k VMs. Even so is unlikely, but errare humanum est. Once I also said we have close to 10k customers when I meant actually VMs (including whole NATed ranges behind virtual routers, system VMs etc). We never had more than 4k customers, if that including iperweb.
It might be possible, he has many companies, as I gather.
He did mean 3k vm's, but that's just it. He didn't have 3000 IP's on his ASN to support them and I don't think he ever did NAT services.
Francisco
Inverse look up of his first name and last name against ORGs reveals only two RIPE LIRs
https://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/membership/alloclist.txt
ro.SCPARFUMURI - IPv6 only
ro.netsilvania - /22 and a /24 IPv4
Everything else appears to be rented from another LIR
He did:
89.35.39.0/24
89.45.46.0/24
188.213.49.0/24
188.213.134.0/24
188.240.208.0/24
45.14.148.0/22
85.204.246.0/24
193.148.68.0/22
That is about 3.5k he could have had 3k VMs on them, but it is unlikely. The idea being that is not 100% impossible.
He had a lot of dedicated servers in there too though.
I think each server got a /29? Or did he do single IP's?
Francisco
If it would take Francisco as long to take dahartigan into court as it took him to make Salvatore fire me, dahartigan has nothing to worry about.
If I were dahartigan, though, I would be waiting it with bated breath, it would be refreshing to take on him somewhere where he has no minions to do his dirty jobs against people he disagrees with all the time. dahartigan wouldnt be banned in court, actually he would be summoned there :P
Say he did have 100 dedicated servers (unlikely). 100x/29 say 800 IPs, 3584-800+100 2884.
But he didnt have 100 dedis, that is 2.5 racks if we consider 1u and very little switches.
I am not saying he did have 3k vms+dedis, I just say it is not impossible to be close to that on those ranges.
I guess it comes down to if you believe he had the police incident or not. He claimed that the incident involved 70 some odd servers alone, and he sold more on the forums, lots of the XEON 24XX stuff.
100 would not be hard to move given his prices and it being Romania.
Francisco
I don't believe anything, I am only thinking whether it would have been possible or not. You claim it is not possible, I say: erm... it is not entirely impossible, just pretty improbable. Only about 80% of the IPs are used at any given time even when you have good management in place so, not likely at all, just not completely impossible.
It's splitting hairs in the end.
He doesn't have to give exacts, rounding up is fine. So is simply not mentioning a customer count at all.
The reason he's getting smacked with this 3000 customer business though is that we've not seen any proof/evidence/anything to back the harddrive claims, or his 12k ip's claims, or his UPS failure, or why no one has been emailed yet, or why he backdated an announcement, or if he moved DC's earlier in the year like many assume, etc.
The list grows, many of them could be put to rest quickly.
There's so many skilled people on these forums that if he shared a SMART/health report, could give some guidance on how to proceed. He's opened threads on here before for help with some old UPS unit years ago so the idea isn't foreign to him.
Francisco
love the dram, keep it going
My dedi came with a single IP and the option to add additional IPs.
All where assigned as single IPs from shared subnets of various size.
So the assumed calculation 100x /29 seems incorrect to me.
>
Single IP? OK so he probably fit them into a couple /24's then. Still, chops up his blocks pretty good.
What subnet was the dedi in? Is it alive?
Francisco
nope
>
Splitting hairs on if it's 'dedicated /24's or '/24s aggregated'.
