A problem, however, is that, these days, one can perform
real business at remote locations without actual business
offices there.

Moreover, as page 28 of:

        https://www.lacnic.net/innovaportal/file/1016/3/lacnic-fasciculo-infraestructura-internet-en.pdf

says:

        REQUIREMENTS FOR OBTAINING AN IP ADDRESS BLOCK AND AN ASN

        The organization must be legally incorporated in the LACNIC
        service region.

incorporation is enough and physical presence is *NOT* required
by LACNIC.

Though there may be other reasons, the article explains:

        https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/01/ddos-guard-to-forfeit-internet-space-occupied-by-parler/

        that are supposed to be given only to entities with a
        physical presence in the region

PS

I'm, anyway, glad that Ron now understand that "stealing" of IP
addresses through AFRINIC for money is a crime of fraud.
