According to a report, a top executive from The African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC), Africa's regional Internet registry, has resigned on news of $50 million of IPv4 addresses being sold on the black market.

“Since the investigation is ongoing, you will understand that we prefer to complete it before we make a public statement,” Kayihura said. “Mr. Byauhanga’s resignation letter did not mention specific reasons, though no one would be blamed to think the two events are related.”
