I would be interested to know if ARIN has ever “reclaimed” an address block in use, for non-payment of fees.   ARIN is a community trust and community driven organization.  If they started doing such things I suspect it would greatly damage their position in the community.

          

Actually, ARIN quite frequently has to stop services for non-payment and removes entries from the database after 120 days past due to get people's attention. Between 120 and 180 days past due, reinstatement is pretty easy. However, after 180 days past due, things get more complicated. See the following;

https://www.arin.net/resources/fees/returns/

ARIN tries it's best not to reassign addresses that are in use and especially not those that are announced in BGP, this is more about not harming the new user of the address assignment than protecting the past due party.

Hope that helps.
