You can create 2x /23 or 4 x/24, describe them as John Smith or ACME 
INC., put them on a VPS or even ordinary switch connected to the 
Internet, announce the space, make it pingable and after 1 or 2 months 
dismount all this mess and sell it. In such case *all* currently 
requirements of "assignment" are fulfilled. Many years ago (before Sept 
2012) lot of LIR's made such masquerades to present "depletion" of their 
allocations and asked for so much new space, as they can obtain from 
RIPE, and stockpiled them.

Over described situation is not significantly different from real user 
assignment. How to distinguish them? Send auditors?
