[routing-wg] AS12679 -- 206.195.224.0/19

Thrift Drug, Inc. of Pennsylvania was bought out in October, 1996 by
the Rite Aid pharmacy chain (US):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrift_Drug
https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_pa/2002644

Unfortunately, the parent company, Rite Aid, never got the memo to tell
that that Thrify Drug, Inc owned the legacy IPv4 block 206.195.224.0/19.

The results were predictable.  This /19 has been repeatedly squatted on
in recent years, as shown by RIPEstat:

2016-08-15  AS42861  RU  Foton Telecom, CJSC Network Operation Centre
2017-12-08  AS65075  --  {{reserved ASN}}
2018-03-26  AS28191  BR  Jupiter Telecomunicacoes e Informatica Ltda
2019-08-24  AS20473  US  Choopa, LLC
2019-10-11  AS12679  RU  Iceberg Telecom Ltd.

The 206.195.224.0/19 block is currently being squatted on by AS12679,
Iceburg Telecom (Moscow).

It appears that this ASN is also and likewise squatting on a great number
of other blocks as well:

AS12679 (Iceburg) appears to be a "leaf" ASN, connected to the public
Internet only via AS25227 (Avantel, Close Joint Stock Company, Moscow)
which it turn appears to be getting more than 3/4ths of its own IPv4
connectivity from AS9002 (RETN):

Suggest filtering all route announcements from both AS12679 -and- also
AS25227 until they each decide if they would like to be part of the
civilized internet.
