 Huh?  They got the /9 on 10/21/2010 - which means none of it is
legacy and they are paying for all of it.  ...they were probably
already billing as an XL ($18k/yr) so it isn't costing them anything
extra.

No magic here.. anyone can look at the allocation, allocation dates
and the resources held under an org id:

The allocation:
http://whois.arin.net/rest/org/CCCH-3.html

Resources held under that org-id (including a /13, which would have
put them into the XL category prior to the /9 being allocated)
