> I don't see that here, the plan was explicitly to trick the RIR into giving them resources they were otherwise not entitled to. Those resources were for everybody to share, they're stealing from you and it's appropriate to prosecute for fraud.

The last time I looked which was a couple of years ago there was nothing in the ARIN TOS that said "you can only control one entity that applies for resources".

Joe Schmoe Enterprises, Inc, Joe Schmoe, LLC, Joe Shmoe Fishing Services, Inc are different legal entities even if Joe Schmoe, Jr owns all of them.

The TOS only entitles you to keep the service you already have, you need more paperwork to get more resources assigned.

I presume the specific problem will have been when Joe Schmoe lied on the paperwork for IPv4 delegation to Joe Shmoe Fishing Services not mentioning that Joe Schmoe, LLC already has also applied, as has Joe Schmoe Enterprises, Inc. I'm not in ARIN's region, so I haven't seen their paperwork, but analogous paperwork in RIPE for example asks you about Related Entities because you're not entitled to duplicate resources just by asking more than once.
