I'm not actually sure there is a policy about this, though.  The person who
did this certainly hasn't been keeping up as Mr. Ballmer owns an
professional basketball team in Los Angeles now called the LA Clippers and
left Microsoft a while ago.  Apparently there is a key attached to the
account which means they used Code of Conduct signing assistant after I
pulled the key to look at it.  The key even said it was generated by Code
of Conduct signing assistant!

Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, “Ubuntu Latinoamérica”, Uruguay, and
Venezuela are all moderated teams so it is up to them to remove ~anthonyba
from their teams...if they so choose.  Perú is an open team so a removal
will not do much good there.  Local Communities have the ability to
determine their own membership so they do have the option to nuke this
account from being part of the membership of their groups.

That the person went through the trouble of signing the Code of Conduct in
the case means that this bad joke could be escalated and dealt with under
that perhaps.  Since three members of LoCo Council are in the leadership
teams for impacted communities, that puts half the Council as involved
indirectly in the situation.  I really don't want to dump a case on
Community Council so I am going to refrain from suggesting that at the
moment.

The simplest way forward for the moment is to laugh at the joke, contact
the user to ask how things are going taking ownership of the Clippers, see
if they get thoroughly confused, and then deal with it as you deem best
within your direct sphere of influence.
