[anti-abuse-wg] Hijack Factory: AS201640 / AS200002

I was wondering if this kind of hijacking falls into the category of Cybercrime and authorities like Europol (https://www.europol.europa.eu/ ) can help?

I personally would be ``yelling at the upstream'' right now, but someone
made a comment on the NANOG mailing list which sort-of hinted that this
would be entirely futile in the case of AS200002.  I don't know, but I
suspect that he already knows something that I don't know, so I'm not
wasting my time on sending comlaints to an entity that, it seems, may
perhaps not give a damn.

To the extent that you might be able to avoid forwarding route
announcements which originate from AS201640, allow me to express
my personal opinion that doing so would be admirable.
