Seems to me that this is less of an LSF issue and more of a Liberty Government Issue. LSF was just doing what it believed to be correct insofar as their members understood the law. If it's a mistake then the real issue is (I reckon) the law in and of itself, rather than the enforcement of the law (although I can see how some actions can exacerbate the problem).
Don't really know why you need to know the members behind those ships.
