But they can file charges for identity fraud and theft of resources. For FBI to investigate they want $5000 of losses from the victim (or victims). Also when IP block is sold, this is profiting from illegally obtained goods (well not "goods" but they can classify it as such). This is fraud of different type (as somebody else pointed legally this would be "Pecunary fraud through misrepresentation of ownership") and they can also prosecute those who got the money but again highier amounts then $500 are needed for them to get really into this. Multiple confirmed cases of buying ip blocks from the same person/groupwould help there.
